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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,015 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 735 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 30R at Dubai International Airport (OMDB). The takeoff distance was 1,192 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 200 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots at 284 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 13 knots. After departing from Dubai, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of the airport and climbing from 1,251 feet above sea level to 37,721 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,470 feet in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 29 miles west of Sir Abu Nu'ayr Airport (OMSN) and lasted 19 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 23 miles northeast of Fuwayrit (Baladiyat ash Shamal, Qatar) and descending from 37,477 feet above sea level to 1,346 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,130 feet in 30 minutes and covering a distance of 97 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34R at King Fahd International Airport (OEDF) was made from the south, heading 345.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,284 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 34R, which had a length of 4,015 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 141 knots. The touchdown point was 318 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -329 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.5 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at 359 degrees, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,415 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. 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 319 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 77 minutes. The aircraft used 9,559 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at OEDF King Fahd International Airport on runway 34R, achieving an overall score of 86.3%. The final approach to the runway was initiated from the south, heading 345.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 318 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -329 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a stable and controlled landing.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, which may have required some additional control from the pilots to maintain a stable approach. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.5 meters from the centerline, which may have required some adjustments during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 359°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.
The total landing distance of 1,415 meters was 35% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centerline, which may have required some additional control from the pilots to maintain a stable and aligned rollout.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues that may require attention from the pilots and air traffic control to ensure a smoother and more controlled landing in the future.
