Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 96 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 96 ft, 51 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
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 1,587 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,587 m of the 2,773 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 633 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 777F aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 07C at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH), with a takeoff distance of 2,125 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 188 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 27°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 10°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile north-east of Hong Kong International Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,036 feet above sea level to 29,070 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,033 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 67 miles south of Jieshi, China, and lasted for 54 minutes, covering a distance of 473 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb to higher altitudes, with the next enroute climb phase starting 103 miles north-east of Jiufen, Taiwan. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from 29,085 feet above sea level to 31,024 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,939 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started at a specific latitude and longitude and lasted for 53 minutes, covering a distance of 510 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to descend and climb, with the next enroute descent phase starting 3 miles south-west of Nichinan, Japan. During this phase, the aircraft descended from 31,009 feet above sea level to 22,909 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,100 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then climbed to a higher altitude, with the next enroute climb phase starting 6 miles north of Nichinan, Japan. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from 22,928 feet above sea level to 31,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,082 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 79 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 37 miles south of Sukumo, Japan, and lasted for 197 minutes, covering a distance of 1,826 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with the next enroute climb phase starting at a specific latitude and longitude. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from 31,139 feet above sea level to 33,128 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,989 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started at a specific latitude and longitude and lasted for 117 minutes, covering a distance of 938 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with the next enroute climb phase starting 90 miles north-west of AK23 Driftwood Bay Air Force Station, Dutch Harbor, Alaska. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from 32,146 feet above sea level to 34,119 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,973 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 80 miles north of AK23 Driftwood Bay Air Force Station, Dutch Harbor, Alaska, and lasted for 178 minutes, covering a distance of 1
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at KBFI Boeing Field King County International Airport on runway 14R. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 146.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good alignment with the runway throughout the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed at 148 knots, but the touchdown speed of 142 knots was still within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was 223 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -352 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 7°C and no wind. This allowed the aircraft to maintain a steady heading and speed during the approach. The runway length of 2,773 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance, which was 1,513 meters, or 55% of the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled path after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 95.0%. The slight deviation from the touchdown zone and the slightly above-target threshold speed were minor issues, but the aircraft's performance was otherwise excellent.
