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 2,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 617 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 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 12 at LFOB Paris-Beauvais Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,296 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 150 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Therdonne in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The climb took 19 minutes and covered 101 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,327 feet above sea level to 31,655 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 16 minutes and covered 98 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which started 1 mile south of Bouvron in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The climb took 2 minutes and covered 13 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 31,814 feet to 33,092 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 74 minutes and covered 492 nautical miles. This phase took place overhead Saint-Pere-en-Retz in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The aircraft then began another climb phase, which started 5 miles east of Penacova in the Distrito de Coimbra region of Portugal. The climb took 4 minutes and covered 30 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 34,279 feet to 36,249 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 64 minutes and covered 434 nautical miles. This phase took place 1 mile southeast of Pombal in the Distrito de Leiria region of Portugal. The aircraft then began its descent, which started at a latitude of 34.6412677 and a longitude of -14.8914015. The descent took 29 minutes and covered 147 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 37,033 feet to 1,234 feet.
The final approach to runway 23 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo was made from the north east, with the aircraft heading 222.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,015 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 208 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -242 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 1,256 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,319 nautical miles, and the flight took 219 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 9,212 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, achieving a high score of 97.7%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 222.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,015 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 146 knots. The touchdown point was located 208 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was also good, indicating a controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -242 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 10 knots, which did not significantly impact the aircraft's performance. The runway length of 2,483 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,256 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop without any issues. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, despite some minor deviations from optimal parameters.
