Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,679 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,679 ft of the 9,263 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,863 ft 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 18 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 29 at MMGL Guadalajara International Airport. The takeoff distance was 6,320 feet, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 171 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 73°F and winds of 2 knots at 70°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and there was a 1-knot tailwind. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile west of the airport and reached an altitude of 35,259 feet above sea level. The climb covered a distance of 111 nautical miles and took 20 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 29,199 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles north of Nuevo Urecho, Mexico. This phase lasted for 187 minutes and covered a distance of 1,524 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from an altitude of 34,887 feet to 36,882 feet, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles in just 3 minutes.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started at a latitude of -1.6243516 and a longitude of -86.2417849. This phase lasted for 87 minutes and covered a distance of 681 nautical miles. As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent, which started 17 miles northwest of SPX5 Huarmey, Peru. The descent took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 143 nautical miles, with a decrease in altitude of 35,657 feet.
The final approach to runway 16R at SPJC Jorge Chavez International Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 154.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,207 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 503 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 136 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -107 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 72°F and winds of 7 knots at 170°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and there was a 7-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 5,419 feet, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,498 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 339 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 67,476 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at SPJC Jorge Chavez International Airport, with a final approach score of 97.4%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the northwest, heading 154.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,207 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 503 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 136 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -107 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from 170°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach and landing phases. The total landing distance was 5,419 feet, which accounted for 59% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating a well-executed approach and landing.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway centerline, which is essential for safe and efficient taxiing. Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases.
