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.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,868 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,868 m of the 3,570 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 884 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 04 at London Stansted Airport, EGSS. The Boeing 737-800 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,258 meters, which was 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south east of Elsenham, Essex, England, at an altitude of 1,380 feet above sea level. The climb continued to an altitude of 5,609 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,228 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles, 1 mile south west of Layer de la Haye, Essex, England.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from an altitude of 5,736 feet above sea level to 32,679 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,943 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 119 nautical miles. This climb took place overhead Little Clacton, Essex, England. The aircraft then leveled off again and entered another cruise phase, lasting 16 minutes and covering 182 nautical miles, overhead Sint-Antelinks, Flanders, Belgium.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 1 mile south of Menil-sur-Belvitte, Grand Est, France, from an altitude of 34,131 feet above sea level to 7,923 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,208 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 113 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off again and entered another cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 18 nautical miles, 2 miles east of Clairvaux-les-Lacs, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France.
The final descent began 1 mile west of Echenevex, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, from an altitude of 7,803 feet above sea level to 2,702 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,101 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 04 at Geneva Cointrin International Airport, LSGG, from the south west, heading 46.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 466 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -371 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 40 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 15 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,784 meters, which was 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 478 nautical miles, taking 53 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,679 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport, achieving a high score of 93.2%. The final approach to runway 04 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 46.0° at an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 145 knots. The touchdown point was located 466 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The touchdown rate of -371 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled and stable landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 40°.
The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 15 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance of 1,784 meters was 50% of the available runway length, indicating a safe and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was brought to a safe stop within a reasonable distance. The high score achieved by the pilot is a testament to their skill and experience in landing the Boeing 737-800 aircraft at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport.
