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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,574 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,574 m of the 2,810 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 729 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 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 28R at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO). The takeoff distance was 1,825 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 183 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 12°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 89°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead San Bruno, California, where the aircraft ascended from 1,034 feet above sea level to 29,092 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,057 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles north of Metz Airport (3CA7) in Greenfield, California, and lasted for 29 minutes, covering 231 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb overhead Norco, California, where it ascended from 29,129 feet above sea level to 31,135 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,006 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued overhead French Valley Murrieta/Temecula (F70) and lasted for 236 minutes, covering 1,967 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb at a specific latitude and longitude, where it ascended from 30,904 feet above sea level to 32,876 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,972 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued at a different latitude and longitude and lasted for 244 minutes, covering 2,038 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 76 miles southwest of SPLO General Jorge Fernandez Maldon Airport Ilo in Peru, where it ascended from 33,008 feet above sea level to 34,993 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,984 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued 76 miles southwest of SPLO General Jorge Fernandez Maldon Airport Ilo and lasted for 129 minutes, covering 1,154 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 2 miles south of SA3Q Carmen De Areco in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where the aircraft descended from 34,682 feet above sea level to 1,306 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,376 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35 at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport was from the south, heading 343.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,231 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 35 was successful, with a touchdown point 313 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 137 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -226 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 290°.
The total landing distance was 1,494 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,638 nautical miles, taking 698 minutes, and the aircraft used 96,911 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport, achieving a high score of 93.8%. The final approach to runway 35 was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 343.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,231 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 137 kt, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 145 kt. The touchdown point was located 313 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun but still within a safe distance. The touchdown rate of -226 fpm was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more gently.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 4 kt at 290°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, while the headwind component was 2 kt. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,494 meters was 53% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping power to come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate, which could be optimized to reduce the impact on the aircraft and the runway.
