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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,284 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,284 m of the 3,449 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 661 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 12R at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún. The takeoff distance was 1,440 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 169 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots at a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún. The climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 104 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,063 feet above sea level to 38,487 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,423 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 51 miles south west of MUCV Las Clavellinas Airport Las Clavellinas. This phase lasted for 43 minutes and covered a distance of 341 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 11 miles north west of FA35 Lindbergh's Landing Airport Miami. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 38,471 feet above sea level to 1,287 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,184 feet.
The final approach to runway 09 at KMIA Miami International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 87.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09, which had a length of 3,449 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 150 knots. The touchdown point was 249 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 144 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -126 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 2,207 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 471 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 99 minutes. The aircraft used 11,585 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 09, achieving a score of 96.5%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 150 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed of 144 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -126 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled and stable landing. The touchdown point was 249 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may have been due to the aircraft's slightly fast touchdown speed.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's approach path or the pilot's control inputs. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 90°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's slightly fast touchdown speed.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 64% of the runway length of 3,449 meters. The total landing distance was 2,207 meters, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The pilots' skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled landing, despite the slightly fast touchdown speed and misaligned touchdown position.
