Flight Score
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,329 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 770 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 16L at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,492 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 28°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 190°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southeast of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,058 feet above sea level to 32,518 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,461 feet in 21 minutes and covering 155 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting at a latitude of 35.4285481 and a longitude of 143.0083866, and lasted for 45 minutes, covering 386 nautical miles. The aircraft then climbed again, this time from 32,871 feet to 34,860 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,989 feet in 3 minutes and covering 32 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its level cruise phase, starting at a latitude of 40.8554003 and a longitude of 148.6406894, and lasted for 204 minutes, covering 1,844 nautical miles. The aircraft then climbed again, this time from 34,671 feet to 36,630 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,959 feet in 3 minutes and covering 29 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 58 miles north of PASN St Paul Island Airport, and lasted for 160 minutes, covering 1,355 nautical miles. The aircraft then climbed again, this time from 37,108 feet to 39,054 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,947 feet in 3 minutes and covering 32 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its level cruise phase, starting 11 miles north of CBN6 Mount Flett, and lasted for 251 minutes, covering 2,084 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles east of Cropseyville, and descended from 39,305 feet to 6,261 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,044 feet in 16 minutes and covering 107 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Stoneham, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent again, starting overhead Middleton, and descended from 5,952 feet to 1,295 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,657 feet in 5 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at KBOS Logan International Airport was made from the north, heading 199.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, with a touchdown point 354 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 123 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -255 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 1,316 meters, which was 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6,054 nautical miles, taking 724 minutes, and the aircraft used 84,473 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport on runway 22L. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 199.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course and speed throughout the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway at a speed of 123 knots.
The touchdown point was located 354 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The touchdown rate of -255 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots from a direction of 210°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which made the landing even more manageable. The runway length of 2,329 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,316 meters, which accounted for 57% of the available runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a precise course during the final stages of the approach. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot applied the brakes smoothly and maintained control of the aircraft during the deceleration phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
