Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 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 3,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 503 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London City Airport, the Boeing 737-600 initiated its taxiing sequence from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 09, the aircraft began its departure roll, utilizing 621 meters, or 47% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 140 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a gentle headwind of 4 knots at 90 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from London City Airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 937 feet above sea level to 23,013 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a 49-minute enroute level cruise, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 23,013 feet while covering 75 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 37 miles east of Southwold, with the aircraft descending from 23,029 feet to 2,008 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles. A brief 2-minute enroute level cruise followed, during which the aircraft leveled off at 2,008 feet while covering 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 06 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 58.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 06 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, utilizing 942 meters, or 30% of the runway, to come to a stop. The touchdown point was 82 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 124 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was smooth at -106 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following a 2-minute taxiing sequence from the runway to the parking area, the aircraft came to a stop, having completed a total flight distance of 184 nautical miles in 44 minutes, utilizing 1,853 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol with a smooth touchdown rate of -106 fpm, slightly above the target speed of 124 kt. The aircraft's approach quality was good, with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was slightly above target at 134 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it was found to be 82 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a steady course during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8 °C and a gentle headwind of 4 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The Boeing 737-600's rollout was characterized by perfect alignment with the centreline, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the critical phases of the landing. The total landing distance of 942 m, which accounts for 30% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was deemed a success, with a score of 99.7% reflecting the high level of proficiency displayed by the pilot.
