Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 2,021 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,021 m of the 3,286 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 882 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 16 at the Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima, Peru. The takeoff distance was 1,075 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 173 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 24°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 170 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the Jorge Chavez International Airport and continued to an altitude of 36,748 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,637 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 16 miles northeast of Aurahua, Peru, and lasted for 187 minutes, covering a distance of 1,531 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent overhead the Santa Genoveva Airport in Goiânia, Brazil. The descent from 36,961 feet above sea level to 4,739 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,222 feet, took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 92 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29L at the Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport in Brasilia, Brazil, was made from the east, heading 266.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 29L, which had a length of 3,286 meters, was successful, with the touchdown point being 429 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 129 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -45 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 360 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,904 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 6 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,747 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 239 minutes. The aircraft used 27,629 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 266.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to runway 29L was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a steady speed of 138 knots at the threshold. This indicates that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft and adhere to the recommended approach speed, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and successful landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 129 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a Boeing 777-300. The touchdown point was located 429 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within the acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -45 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and without any significant loss of altitude.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 360°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component, allowing the pilots to maintain a stable approach and landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, with the aircraft touching down safely and within the acceptable limits. The pilots' ability to maintain a steady approach speed, touchdown speed, and touchdown rate, combined with the favorable weather conditions, resulted in a successful landing that was well within the acceptable parameters. The total landing distance of 1,904 meters, which accounts for 58% of the runway length, is also a testament to the pilots' skill and expertise in executing a safe and efficient landing.
