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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,561 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 825 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,236 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Machelen in Flanders, Belgium. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,134 feet above sea level to 7,054 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,919 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south of Duisburg, Flanders, Belgium, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. However, the aircraft then began another climb, this time from 7,054 feet to 33,725 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,671 feet, in 18 minutes and covering 111 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started again, this time overhead Rurange-les-Thionville in Grand Est, France, and lasted for 25 minutes, covering 221 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile west of Granier in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 33,445 feet above sea level to 3,881 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,565 feet, in 32 minutes and covering 140 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started again, this time 22 miles southeast of Antibes in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering 22 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04L at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport was made from the southwest, heading 44.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,181 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 04L, which has a length of 2,561 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 142 knots. The touchdown point was 211 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 127 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -221 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,227 meters, which is 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 509 nautical miles, taking 101 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,615 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, achieving a score of 89.7%. The final approach to runway 04L was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 44.0° at an altitude of 1,181 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 142 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown point was located 211 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 127 knots was considered good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and managed the descent effectively.
The touchdown rate of -221 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed fair, indicating that the aircraft touched down with a moderate rate of descent. This could be attributed to the pilot's decision to flare the aircraft, reducing the rate of descent and ensuring a smoother touchdown.
During the landing, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline. This deviation may have been caused by factors such as crosswind or pilot error, but it did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 320°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions may have contributed to the slight deviation from the centerline during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,227 meters was 48% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to come to a safe stop. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot maintaining control throughout the rollout phase. However, the slight deviation from the centerline and the fair touchdown rate indicate areas for improvement in the pilot's landing technique.
