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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,914 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 762 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With a local temperature of 23 °C and a gentle headwind of 4 kt, the aircraft took off from runway 22R, utilizing 884 meters, or 35% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 146 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude of 23,989 feet, it traversed a distance of 85 nautical miles in 17 minutes, an increase of 22,989 feet from its initial altitude of 1,000 feet. The climb phase was initiated 1 mile southeast of Saint-Laurent-du-Var, France, and the aircraft continued to ascend until it reached its cruise altitude. Following a 14-minute level cruise at an altitude of 23,989 feet, the aircraft began its descent, reducing its altitude by 21,697 feet in 18 minutes and covering 104 nautical miles. The descent phase was initiated 44 miles east of Cadaques, Spain, and the aircraft continued to descend until it reached its final approach altitude.
Upon reaching the vicinity of Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, the aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 24R, aligning itself with the runway from the northeast. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 146 kt, which was well above the target speed. The touchdown point was 341 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 130 kt was slightly fast. The aircraft's touchdown rate was fair at -220 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline. Following a total landing distance of 1,206 meters, or 41% of the runway's length, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 298 nautical miles, and the aircraft utilized 2,982 kilograms of fuel during the 60-minute flight.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was above the target, registering 146 kt, which may have been a result of the aircraft's approach configuration. The aircraft's descent was controlled, with a touchdown speed of 130 kt, although this was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate of -220 fpm was fair, indicating a relatively smooth landing.
The touchdown point was located 341 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may have been a result of the aircraft's slightly fast touchdown speed. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, deviating 3.9 meters from the centerline. Despite these minor deviations, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phases of landing.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 1,206 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway length. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17°C and a headwind of 9 kt, may have contributed to the aircraft's performance. The landing score of 94.4% reflects the minor deviations from the desired touchdown point and speed, but overall, the landing was well-executed.
