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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,237 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 539 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 33R at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,060 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 175 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -2°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 200°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northwest of CYYZ. The climb took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 75 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,637 feet above sea level to 32,321 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,684 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 5 miles south of Seaforth, Ontario, and lasted for 41 minutes, covering a distance of 204 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 3 miles north of Allegan, Michigan, and took 18 minutes to descend from 32,537 feet above sea level to 9,565 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,972 feet. The aircraft then began another enroute level cruise 1 mile east of Prospect Heights, Illinois, which lasted for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final enroute descent started overhead Palatine, Illinois, and took 7 minutes to descend from 9,519 feet above sea level to 2,075 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,444 feet.
The final approach to runway 27C at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport was made from the east, heading 270.0°, at an altitude of 1,249 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 27C, which had a length of 3,237 meters. The threshold height at 65 feet above ground level was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 137 knots.
The touchdown point was 115 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -411 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 270°. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,223 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 437 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 111 minutes. The aircraft used 12,238 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed on runway 27C at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, achieving a score of 87.4%. The final approach to the runway was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,249 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was executed with precision, with a threshold height of 65 feet agl being slightly above the target, but the threshold speed of 137 knots was within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 115 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 135 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard, at -411 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a slightly abrupt landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which was favorable for the landing. The total landing distance was 1,223 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was slightly off, deviating by 10.5 meters from the centerline. This minor deviation may have been due to the aircraft's braking performance or the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and a reasonable landing distance. However, the hard touchdown rate and slight misalignment during the rollout phase may be areas for improvement in future landings.
