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.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,161 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,221 ft 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 28 at LSZH Zürich Airport. The takeoff distance was 216 feet, which accounted for 3% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 54 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 90 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind was 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Rumlang in the Kanton Zurich region of Switzerland. It climbed from an altitude of 2,465 feet above sea level to 37,912 feet, an increase of 35,447 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 129 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Bad Wiessee in Bavaria, Germany. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 54 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile east of Geratskirchen in Bavaria, Germany. It descended from an altitude of 37,681 feet to 2,509 feet, a decrease of 35,173 feet, in 26 minutes and covering a distance of 119 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 06 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague from the southwest, heading at 65.0 degrees and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 54 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 90 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 10 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 06, which had a length of 12,161 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 132 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,228 feet, and the touchdown speed was 124 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was firm at -335 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 4,312 feet, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 309 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 63 minutes. The aircraft used 5,709 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague, achieving a high score of 98.0%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the south west, with a heading of 65.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,311 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 132 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 1,228 feet, and the touchdown speed was maintained at 124 knots, which is a good indicator of the pilot's control and management of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown rate was firm at -335 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled and stable landing.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 12 feet off the centreline. This may be attributed to the crosswind component, which was 5 knots, and the headwind, which was 10 knots. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 54°F and a wind speed of 11 knots at 90°, may have also contributed to this deviation.
Despite the slight misalignment, the total landing distance of 4,312 feet was within 35% of the runway length, which is a good indication of the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
