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 2,580 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 691 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 07C at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF). The Boeing 777F aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 1,194 meters, which was 30% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 186 knots, marking the start of the takeoff phase.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 80°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Frankfurt Airport, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 1,421 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 32,981 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 81 nautical miles and took 6 minutes to complete, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 31,560 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 240 nautical miles. This phase took place 1 mile east of Bergheim, Germany. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile south of Kelvedon Hatch, England. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 31,680 feet above sea level to 1,644 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles in 8 minutes.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it entered the final approach phase, heading towards runway 09 at East Midlands Airport (EGNX) from the west. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,318 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold when it began its descent. The local weather conditions at this point were 2°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 110°, with a crosswind component of 3 knots and a headwind component of 7 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 09 at East Midlands Airport, with a touchdown point located 276 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 140 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -74 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total landing distance was 1,315 meters, which was 51% of the runway's length.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 422 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 24 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 9,384 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at East Midlands Airport (EGNX) on runway 09, achieving a score of 91.0%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 89.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,318 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with the threshold height being above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 144 knots. The touchdown point was 276 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The aircraft's touchdown rate was particularly impressive, with an excellent rate of -74 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft was able to touch down with minimal impact, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, allowing the aircraft to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,315 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and safely after touchdown, with the runway rollout alignment being perfect. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well in terms of speed, distance, and alignment.
