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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,674 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,674 m of the 3,591 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 673 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 35L at KDEN Denver International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,189 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 173 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 180°. The crosswind was negligible, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles north of KDEN Denver International Airport, and climbed from 6,288 feet above sea level to 30,800 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,512 feet, in 14 minutes and covering 95 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles northeast of 5NE0 Bar J Lazy V Potter in Nebraska, United States, and lasted 94 minutes, covering 820 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 30,864 feet above sea level to 33,518 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,653 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 33 nautical miles, starting 16 miles south of CYTJ Terrace Bay in Ontario, Canada.
The enroute level cruise resumed 5 miles east of CYSP Marathon Airport in Ontario, Canada, and lasted 129 minutes, covering 1,207 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 33,996 feet above sea level to 34,565 feet above sea level, an increase of 569 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 15 nautical miles, starting 81 miles northeast of CCE4 Black Tickle Airport in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
The enroute level cruise continued 95 miles northeast of CCE4 Black Tickle Airport and lasted 210 minutes, covering 1,806 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile west of Barlaston in Staffordshire, England, and descended from 34,657 feet above sea level to 7,361 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,296 feet, in 14 minutes and covering 95 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Bovingdon in Hertfordshire, England, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute descent, starting overhead Watford in Hertfordshire, England, and descended from 7,305 feet above sea level to 1,374 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,932 feet, in 6 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 270.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 259 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -277 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 320°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,595 meters, which is 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,102 nautical miles
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at London Heathrow Airport's runway 27R, achieving a score of 92.3%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a threshold height slightly above the target at 56 feet agl.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good control, with a threshold speed of 137 knots. The touchdown point was 259 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -277 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more gently.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 320°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more manageable. The runway length of 3,591 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,595 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop without any issues. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
