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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,434 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 554 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 34L at KPAE Seattle Paine Field International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,507 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 183 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 12°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 349°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of Mukilteo, Washington, and the aircraft climbed from 1,584 feet above sea level to 36,685 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,101 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 183 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 9 miles west of Rossland, British Columbia, Canada, and lasted for 149 minutes, covering a distance of 1,169 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 35,029 feet above sea level to 32,988 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,041 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again at a new location, and the aircraft flew for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles. The enroute climb started once more, and the aircraft climbed from 33,134 feet above sea level to 34,672 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,537 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again, and the aircraft flew for 331 minutes, covering a distance of 2,488 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 3 miles south of Thornhill, Scotland, and the aircraft descended from 35,847 feet above sea level to 5,717 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,130 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started once more, and the aircraft flew for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Cheadle Heath, England, and the aircraft descended from 5,392 feet above sea level to 4,930 feet above sea level, a decrease of 462 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again, and the aircraft flew for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Delph, England, and the aircraft descended from 4,361 feet above sea level to 1,366 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,995 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23R at EGCC Manchester Airport was made from the north east, heading 231.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,131 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 137 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -386 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 994 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. 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 4,095 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 525 minutes. The aircraft used 57,234 kilograms of
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Manchester Airport's runway 23R, achieving an overall score of 88.8%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 231.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,131 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was well-executed, with a threshold height that was significantly above the target, indicating a safe margin for landing. The threshold speed was also satisfactory, reaching 144 knots, which is a good indicator of the pilot's control and management of the aircraft's descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 130 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown rate was firm, at -386 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting a controlled and stable descent. However, the touchdown point was 137 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.
The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, being 5.3 meters off the centerline. This may be attributed to the crosswind, which was 6 knots, and the tailwind, which was 3 knots. Despite these factors, the pilot managed to maintain a very good runway rollout alignment, indicating a high level of control and precision during the landing phase.
The total landing distance was 994 meters, which is 41% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight, and suggests that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's descent and touchdown effectively.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of aligning the aircraft with the centerline and achieving a more precise touchdown point.
