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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,537 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,537 m of the 2,094 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,092 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This Boeing 777-200ER took off from runway 34L at Narita International Airport, located in Japan. After a 6-minute taxiing process that covered 3 nautical miles, the aircraft departed the runway at 172 knots of lift-off speed, utilizing 46% of the 1,487-meter runway length. Weather conditions during takeoff included a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 3 knots at 340 degrees, and a headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft began its enroute climb, it rose from 1,148 feet above sea level to 6,582 feet, a 5,434-foot increase, while covering 10 nautical miles in 2 minutes. The climb continued overhead Narita Airport, followed by level cruising 1 mile north of Ryugasaki Airport, which lasted 2 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles. Subsequent level cruises took place over Ami Airport and at the coordinates Latitude: 35.4262752, Longitude: 143.147516, with the latter lasting 136 minutes and covering 1,270 nautical miles.
During the flight, four significant climbs occurred, taking the aircraft to increasingly higher altitudes. The first of these climbs started at Latitude: 44.7099325, Longitude: 168.1791988 and lasted 2 minutes, with the aircraft reaching 36,503 feet above sea level from 34,675 feet. This climb was followed by another level cruise, lasting 175 minutes and covering 1,540 nautical miles. A subsequent climb took place at Latitude: 45.1090557, Longitude: -154.8306557, during which the aircraft rose 1,987 feet in 3 minutes while covering 30 nautical miles. This climb was followed by a level cruise lasting 213 minutes and covering 1,754 nautical miles.
As the plane approached its destination, it began a descent from 38,907 feet above sea level to 6,633 feet above sea level, a 32,274-foot decrease, while covering 104 nautical miles in 16 minutes. Another level cruise took place 1 mile south east of KMYF Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then continued its descent overhead Spring Valley, California, and finally landed on runway 27 at San Diego International Airport.
The landing on runway 27 resulted in a touchdown point that was very long, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway, and a touchdown speed of 120 knots, which was considered good. The threshold speed was slightly below target at 124 knots. The landing distance was 1,454 meters, accounting for 69% of the 2,094-meter runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing to the parking area took only 1 minute, while covering less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 4,897 nautical miles, lasting 585 minutes while consuming 65,966 kilograms of fuel.
A Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at San Diego International Airport (KSAN) on runway 27, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in navigation and piloting skills. The flight crew achieved an impressive score of 88.6% in this landing, showcasing their ability to execute a precise approach and landing.
The approach to runway 27 was made from the east, with a heading of 286.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,519 feet above ground level (agl). The conditions for the landing were favorable, with the aircraft touching down at a threshold speed that was slightly below the target of 124 knots. This suggests that the crew successfully managed the deceleration rate during the approach to achieve a safe landing.
Notably, the touchdown point was positioned very far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available length. However, the touchdown speed of 120 knots was well within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -252 feet per minute (fpm) was fair. The rollout alignment after touchdown was excellent, demonstrating the crew's ability to control the aircraft's dynamics during the landing phase.
The weather conditions at the time of landing were generally calm, with a temperature of 21°C and a light headwind of 2 knots at 289°. This minimal wind component likely contributed to the successful landing, allowing the crew to maintain control of the aircraft and achieve a high level of precision in their navigation.
The total landing distance of 1,454 meters accounted for 69% of the available runway length, which is slightly above the ideal threshold. Nonetheless, this suggests that the crew successfully managed the aircraft's deceleration and control during the landing phase, ensuring a safe and stable touchdown.
