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 2,051 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,051 m of the 3,450 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 612 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-300 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 23L at Auckland International Airport, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 166 knots after covering a takeoff distance of 1,037 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a 6-knot wind blowing from 250°. The crosswind was negligible, but the aircraft experienced a 5-knot headwind. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile southwest of Auckland International Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,055 feet above sea level to 34,080 feet, an increase of 33,024 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 94 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 148 minutes and covered a distance of 1,068 nautical miles. This phase began approximately 91 miles southwest of Parakai, Auckland. The aircraft continued to cruise at this altitude until it encountered a need to climb again, this time from 34,155 feet to 36,064 feet, an increase of 1,909 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. This climb phase started approximately 43 miles southeast of Gabo Island Airport, Mallacoota, Victoria, Australia.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 170 minutes and covered a distance of 1,221 nautical miles. This phase began approximately 38 miles south of Gabo Island Airport, Mallacoota. The aircraft continued to cruise at this altitude until it encountered a need to climb once more, this time from 36,047 feet to 38,056 feet, an increase of 2,010 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. This climb phase started at a specific latitude and longitude.
The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, which lasted for 49 minutes and covered a distance of 330 nautical miles. This phase began approximately 89 miles southeast of Orleans Farm Airport, Esperance, Western Australia. The aircraft then began its descent, which started approximately 4 miles north of Kulin Bush Races Strip, Wagin, Western Australia. The descent from 38,088 feet to 1,353 feet took 25 minutes, covering a distance of 126 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at Perth International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 14.0° at an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 03, which had a length of 3,450 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 146 knots.
The touchdown point was 200 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 142 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -229 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 10°C temperature and a 2-knot wind blowing from 10°.
The total landing distance was 1,974 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,883 nautical miles, which was covered in 423 minutes, and the aircraft used 52,
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at YPPH Perth International Airport, achieving a score of 95.2%. The final approach to runway 03 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 14.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was characterized by a slightly above-target threshold height of 55 feet agl, but the threshold speed was satisfactory at 146 knots. The touchdown point was located 200 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -229 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 10°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots at a direction of 10°. The crosswind component was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots. The runway length of 3,450 meters provided a sufficient margin for the aircraft to come to a stop, with a total landing distance of 1,974 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop in a controlled manner. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
