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 2,052 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,052 m of the 3,707 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 648 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 16 at LOWW Vienna International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,036 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 149 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Klein-Neusiedl in Niederoesterreich, Austria. The climb took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 48 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,585 feet above sea level to 22,006 feet above sea level, a total increase of 20,421 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles west of Ernstbrunn in Niederoesterreich, Austria. This phase lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of 77 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles northeast of Kosetice in Kraj Vysocina, Czech Republic. The descent took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 77 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 21,997 feet above sea level to 2,500 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 19,497 feet.
The final approach to runway 06 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 65.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,300 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 06, which had a length of 3,707 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 146 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 144 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -475 feet per minute.
The touchdown point was 235 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown 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 1 knot at 139 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,975 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The final phase of the flight involved taxiing to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 211 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 45 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,677 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague, achieving a score of 94.9%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the south west, with a heading of 65.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,300 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 146 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 144 knots was slightly faster than ideal, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -475 feet per minute. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 139°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was zero. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The touchdown point was located 235 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The total landing distance of 1,975 meters was 53% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating that the pilot maintained control and alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 94.9%. However, the slightly fast touchdown speed and hard touchdown rate are areas for improvement, and the pilot may need to adjust their approach and landing technique to achieve a more ideal touchdown speed and rate.
