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 1,647 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,647 m of the 4,013 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 619 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 17 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,015 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 174 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 200 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Biny Selo, a suburb of Baku City, Azerbaijan. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 103 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,027 feet above sea level to 36,444 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,417 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 59 miles southeast of Sovetabad, a town in the Neftchala Rayon region of Azerbaijan. This phase lasted for 184 minutes and covered a distance of 1,078 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 34 miles northeast of Rabigh, a city in the Mecca Region of Saudi Arabia. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 108 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 37,006 feet above sea level to 5,341 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,664 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 8 miles east of Jeddah, a city in the Mecca Region of Saudi Arabia. This phase lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 13 miles northwest of Al Jumum, a city in the Mecca Region of Saudi Arabia. The descent took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 4,955 feet above sea level to 2,083 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,872 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 14 miles east of Jeddah and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 34R at OEJN King Abdulaziz International Airport, which was located to the south. The aircraft was heading 340.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,303 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 34R was successful, with a touchdown point located 201 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -202 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,565 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,350 nautical miles, which was covered in 261 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 30,680 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at OEJN King Abdulaziz International Airport, achieving a high score of 96.2%. The final approach to runway 34R was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 340.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,303 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with precision, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 139 knots. The touchdown point was 201 meters beyond the 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 -202 feet per minute (fpm) was only 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 29°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 330°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach. The runway length of 4,013 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,565 meters, which accounted for only 39% of the available 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 in a straight line. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop without incident.
