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 1,982 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,982 m of the 3,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 547 m 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo. The takeoff distance was 909 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 339 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered a series of enroute climbs and level cruises. The first enroute climb started overhead Machico, Madeira, Portugal, where the aircraft climbed from 1,022 feet above sea level to 36,003 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,981 feet, in 15 minutes and covering 104 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise that followed lasted 87 minutes and covered 724 nautical miles, starting 69 miles northeast of LPPS Porto Santo Airport Vila Baleira, Madeira, Portugal.
The aircraft then encountered another enroute climb, which started 2 miles east of Almanza, Castilla y Leon, Spain. In this climb, the aircraft ascended from 36,003 feet above sea level to 37,828 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,825 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise, which lasted 67 minutes and covered 561 nautical miles, starting 4 miles north of Velilla del Rio Carrion, Castilla y Leon, Spain.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 38,002 feet above sea level to 1,252 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,750 feet, in 23 minutes and covering 135 nautical miles. The descent started overhead La Neuville, Hauts-de-France, France. The final approach to runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the southwest, heading 58.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,252 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was successful, with the aircraft touching down 132 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 143 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -270 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at 61 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,902 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,548 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 209 minutes. The aircraft used 24,672 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 95.3%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the southwest, heading 58.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being slightly above the target at 55 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 145 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 132 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, but the touchdown rate of -270 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair. This suggests that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep, which is a positive aspect of the landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 61°. The crosswind component was negligible at 0 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which is a favorable condition for landing.
The total landing distance of 1,902 meters was 60% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a controlled deceleration.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 95.3%. The minor deviations in touchdown point and touchdown speed were not significant enough to impact the overall performance of the landing.
