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 2,221 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,221 m of the 3,798 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 726 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 777-300 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Benito Juárez International Airport (MMMX) in Ciudad de México, Mexico. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 05R, with a takeoff distance of 1,806 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 31°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 60°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from MMMX, the enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 8,314 feet above sea level to 36,929 feet above sea level. This increase of 28,615 feet was achieved in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles southeast of La Gloria in the Estado de Puebla, Mexico. This phase lasted for 192 minutes, covering a distance of 1,508 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 37,099 feet above sea level to 14,387 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,712 feet, in 16 minutes, covering 92 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase was restarted overhead Facatativa in the Departamento de Cundinamarca, Colombia, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 13,877 feet above sea level to 9,043 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,834 feet, in 4 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32R at El Dorado International Airport (SKBO) was made from the southeast, heading 307.0° at 2 nautical miles and 678 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 32R, which had a length of 3,798 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 149 knots.
The touchdown point was 326 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 145 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -353 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 19°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 308°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,156 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,731 nautical miles, taking 238 minutes, and the aircraft used 27,168 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at SKBO El Dorado International Airport on runway 32R. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 307.0° at an altitude of 678 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course throughout the approach, adhering to the standard procedures for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target at 149 knots, while the touchdown point was 326 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 145 knots was also a bit faster than desired, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -353 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots from 308°. The crosswind was negligible at 0 knots, allowing the pilots to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance of 2,156 meters was 57% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range.
Following the touchdown, the runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within the designated area.
