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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,701 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,701 m of the 2,617 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 664 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 a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 25R at Brussels Airport (EBBR). The takeoff distance was 1,168 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 3°C temperature and a wind speed of 18 knots at 220°. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 16 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Diegem, Flanders, Belgium, where the aircraft climbed from 1,148 feet above sea level to 2,061 feet, an increase of 913 feet in 1 minute, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then began overhead Strombeek-Bever, Flanders, Belgium, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb, starting from overhead Merchtem, Flanders, Belgium, where it climbed from 2,161 feet to 14,088 feet, an increase of 11,927 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started overhead Ertvelde, Flanders, Belgium, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 29 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb, starting from 3 miles north of De Haan, Flanders, Belgium, where it climbed from 14,095 feet to 30,432 feet, an increase of 16,338 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started 8 miles north of Westgate-on-Sea, Kent, England, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 44 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb, starting from 1 mile east of Horseheath, Cambridgeshire, England, where it climbed from 30,402 feet to 32,186 feet, an increase of 1,784 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile south of Exton, District of Rutland, England, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 122 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting from 18 miles north of Llandudno, Conwy, Wales, where it descended from 31,768 feet to 3,340 feet, a decrease of 28,428 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 74 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started 16 miles east of Dalkey, Leinster, Ireland, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting from 2 miles north-east of Howth, Leinster, Ireland, where it descended from 2,857 feet to 1,481 feet, a decrease of 1,376 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28L at Dublin Airport (EIDW) was made from the east, heading 274.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,256 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which was 2,617 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 132 knots.
The touchdown point was 247 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -196 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Dublin Airport's runway 28L, achieving a score of 94.1%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 274.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,617 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 132 knots. The touchdown point was located 247 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -196 feet per minute (fpm) was also good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 140°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was also 4 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance was 1,619 meters, which accounts for 62% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent during the landing phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and rate, and a relatively short landing distance. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the touchdown zone, and the threshold speed was slightly below target.
