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 1,977 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,977 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 436 m touchdown sits inside 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 07C at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), with a takeoff distance of 1,495 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 1°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 120°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was also 4 knots. After departing from Frankfurt Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and reached an altitude of 30,125 feet above sea level (asl) in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,355 feet asl to the final altitude.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 2 miles south east of the UL-Flugplatz Auf der Schaufel Bad Wildungen (EDZW) and lasted for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 200 nautical miles. The cruise altitude was maintained at a steady level, allowing the aircraft to conserve fuel and maintain a consistent speed.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles south east of Dahme, Germany. The descent was from an altitude of 29,930 feet asl to 3,734 feet asl, a decrease of 26,196 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 4 miles north east of Store Heddinge, Denmark, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final descent started 6 miles north east of Harlev, Denmark, and was from an altitude of 3,462 feet asl to 1,283 feet asl, a decrease of 2,179 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 04L at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (EKCH), approaching from the south west at a heading of 41.0° and at an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing on runway 04L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 439 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 139 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was firm at -335 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were -3°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 110°, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 374 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 79 minutes. The aircraft used 3,217 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, achieving a high score of 97.7%. The final approach to runway 04L was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 41.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 139 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 439 meters was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in navigating the aircraft to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -3°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing, achieving a firm touchdown rate of -335 feet per minute (fpm).
The total landing distance of 1,897 meters was 63% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
