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 1,571 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,571 m of the 4,100 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 847 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 12L at OBBI Bahrain International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,045 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 179 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 36 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 294 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 10 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead OBBI Bahrain International Airport in Manama, Bahrain. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,062 feet above sea level to 37,729 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,667 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 23 miles east of Al Khawr in Qatar. This phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 66 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 8 miles east of OMAS Das Island Airport in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 37,061 feet above sea level to 2,255 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,806 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 14 miles south of OM11 Abu Dhabi Northeast Airport in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. This phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 31R at OMAA Zayed International Airport, approaching from the southeast at a heading of 308.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,320 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 31R was successful, with a touchdown speed of 133 knots and a touchdown rate of -316 feet per minute. However, the touchdown point was 408 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 36 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 310 degrees, resulting in a headwind of 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,466 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.6 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 275 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 63 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,908 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at OMAA Zayed International Airport, achieving an overall score of 81.0%. The final approach to runway 31R was initiated from the southeast, heading 308.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,320 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold height of 76 feet agl, which was well above the target. The threshold speed was satisfactory at 137 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 408 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting of the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 133 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -316 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled and stable landing. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 36°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 310°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 12 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.
The total landing distance of 1,466 meters was 36% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 13.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a good threshold speed and touchdown speed, but with some minor deviations in the alignment of the touchdown and rollout positions.
