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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,794 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 572 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 04 at EGSS London Stansted Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,241 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots at 349 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Elsenham in Essex, England. The climb from 1,394 feet above sea level to 4,817 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,423 feet, took 2 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Arkesden in Essex, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 4,883 feet above sea level to 36,699 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,816 feet, which took 20 minutes and covered 103 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise that followed started 33 miles south of Seaford in East Sussex, England, and lasted for 74 minutes, covering 584 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 40 miles south of Castelldefels in Catalunya, Spain. The descent from 36,739 feet above sea level to 3,039 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,700 feet, took 27 minutes and covered 96 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise that followed started 12 miles east of Sant Carles de Peralta in Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears, Spain, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at LEIB Ibiza Airport was made from the north east, heading 242.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 24 was successful, with a touchdown point 160 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -312 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,361 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 822 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 139 minutes. The aircraft used 5,830 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LEIB Ibiza Airport, achieving a score of 94.4%. The final approach to runway 24 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 242.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 143 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown point was located 160 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was also deemed good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control throughout the landing process.
The touchdown rate was firm, at -312 feet per minute, which is a typical rate for a commercial airliner. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating by 3.2 meters from the centerline. This minor deviation did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 210°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions likely contributed to a smooth and stable landing.
The total landing distance was 1,361 meters, which is approximately 49% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. The minor deviations from the intended landing spot and slightly misaligned runway touchdown position did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall performance.
