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 1,540 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,540 m of the 1,999 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 529 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 28 at ENSB Svalbard Airport, Longyear. The takeoff distance was 907 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 229°.
As the aircraft climbed out of ENSB Svalbard Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile west of the airport. The climb took 14 minutes and covered 69 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,071 feet above sea level to 34,506 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,435 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 43 miles southeast of ENSA Svea Airport Svea, and it lasted for 38 minutes, covering 332 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 88 miles northwest of ENHK Hasvik Airport Hasvik and took 21 minutes to complete, during which the aircraft descended from 34,845 feet above sea level to 1,696 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,149 feet. The descent covered 117 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18 at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, was made from the north, with a heading of 193.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,658 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 18 at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, was successful, with a runway length of 1,999 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 149 knots. The touchdown point was 119 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 145 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -266 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 359°.
The total landing distance was 1,466 meters, which accounted for 73% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 524 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 82 minutes. The aircraft used 10,395 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, with a score of 97.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 193.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,658 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for a smooth landing on runway 18, which has a length of 1,999 meters.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft touched down at the correct height relative to the runway surface. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 148 kt, coming in at 149 kt. Despite this minor deviation, the touchdown point was 119 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively acceptable margin.
The touchdown speed of 145 kt was within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down smoothly and maintain control during the landing. However, the touchdown rate of -266 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the final stages of the approach.
The runway touchdown alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is an important factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 359°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,466 meters was 73% of the runway length, which is a relatively acceptable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
