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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,782 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,782 m of the 3,050 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 703 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 36R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 2,261 meters, which is 80% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 184 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 329 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Lijnden, a town in the province of Noord-Holland, The Netherlands. The climb took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 134 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 987 feet above sea level to 34,666 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,679 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 90 miles north west of Oost-Vlieland, a town in the province of Friesland, The Netherlands. This phase lasted for 146 minutes and covered a distance of 858 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 24 miles south of Vik i Myrdal, a town in the Sudurland region of Iceland. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 112 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 32,926 feet above sea level to 1,423 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,503 feet.
The final approach to runway 28 at BIKF Keflavik International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 269.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 3,050 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots. The touchdown point was 293 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -479 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 9 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,707 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,112 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 194 minutes. The aircraft used 9,131 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) on runway 28. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 269.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 87.7%.
The threshold height at 66 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was moving at a slightly faster pace than intended when reaching the threshold. Despite these minor deviations, the aircraft successfully landed on the runway.
The touchdown point was 293 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant deviation. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was a little fast, indicating that the aircraft was moving at a higher speed than desired when touching down on the runway. Furthermore, the touchdown rate was hard at -479 feet per minute (fpm), which may have contributed to the aircraft's slightly misaligned runway touchdown position by 4.5 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 9°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's performance during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,707 meters, which accounts for 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft's rollout after touchdown was not perfectly aligned with the runway centerline.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some minor deviations from the target performance, including a slightly high threshold height, a slightly fast touchdown speed, and a hard touchdown rate. Additionally, the touchdown point was beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned.
