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 1,734 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,734 m of the 3,894 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 682 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 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 31 at LIBR Brindisi Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,568 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 310°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of LIBR Brindisi Airport. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 108 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,061 feet above sea level to 32,091 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,031 feet. The enroute level cruise started 3 miles northeast of Monteverde, Campania, Italy, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 1 mile northwest of San Giorgio a Liri, Lazio, Italy, and took 29 minutes to descend from 32,090 feet above sea level to 1,321 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,769 feet. The descent covered a distance of 73 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 16L at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport was made from the north, heading 163.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,308 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 16L was successful, with a touchdown point 275 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -187 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 80°.
The total landing distance was 1,661 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 13 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 272 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 79 minutes. The aircraft used 3,131 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, with a final approach score of 94.6%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 163.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,308 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed on runway 16L, which has a length of 3,894 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 150 knots, coming in at 151 knots.
The touchdown point was located 275 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -187 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 80°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,661 meters, which is 43% 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 in a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it came to a stop.
Overall, the landing was executed well, with the aircraft touching down in a controlled manner and coming to a stop in a relatively short distance. The score of 94.6% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot during the landing.
