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 2,334 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,334 m of the 3,452 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 679 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-300 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 22R at John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK), with the aircraft taking off after covering 71% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,880 meters, and the liftoff speed was 203 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 230°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of Edgemere, New York, and ascended from an altitude of 1,080 feet above sea level to 27,689 feet, an increase of 26,609 feet in 17 minutes. The climb covered a distance of 95 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southeast of Monterey, Massachusetts, and lasted for 93 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 759 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase 12 miles north of Fontanges Airport in Quebec, Canada, and ascended from 26,870 feet to 28,235 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey with multiple enroute climb and level cruise phases, passing through various locations, including Fontanges Airport, Siskovo in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia, Taksimo in Respublika Buryatiya, Russia, Baruun-Urt Airport in Suhbaatar Aymag, Mongolia, and Licheng in Guangdong Sheng, China. The aircraft also underwent several descent phases, including one from 28,216 feet to 25,763 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07C at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH) was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 71.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,295 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 07C, which had a length of 3,452 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots.
The touchdown point was 233 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 146 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -131 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots at a direction of 30°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,223 meters, which was 64% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 7,081 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 922 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 122,669 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport on runway 07C, achieving a score of 94.3%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 71.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,295 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 150 knots, registering at 151 knots. However, the touchdown point was located 233 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path. The touchdown speed of 146 knots was also slightly faster than the desired speed, but the touchdown rate of -131 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled and stable landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.9 meters, which may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots at a direction of 30°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots.
The total landing distance of 2,223 meters was 64% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating a high level of proficiency in terms of landing technique and control.
