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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 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 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 413 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Paderborn Lippstadt Airport (EDLP) and took off from runway 24. The aircraft was a Boeing 737, and during takeoff, it reached a liftoff speed of 149 kt after covering 1,509 meters of the runway, which is approximately 69% of the total runway length. The weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 14 °C and a wind blowing at 6 kt from 330 °, with no headwind but a slight crosswind of 6 kt.
After takeoff, the enroute climb started about 2 miles north of Bueren, Germany, where the aircraft lifted off from 1,866 feet above sea level and climbed to 9,897 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The climb from 1,866 feet to 9,897 feet was an increase of 8,031 feet.
During the enroute level cruise that followed, the aircraft started 3 miles north of Brilon, Germany, and covered 41 nautical miles over the course of 5 minutes before leveling out. After this cruise, the enroute climb started again about 3 miles west of Willingshausen, Germany, where the aircraft climbed from 10,486 feet to 17,325 feet in just 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
The next enroute level cruise began overhead Romrod, Germany, and lasted for a prolonged period of 50 minutes, covering a total distance of 169 nautical miles. As the flight continued, the enroute descent started about 30 miles west of its final destination, Munich Airport, where the aircraft descended from 17,821 feet to 2,631 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
After the initial descent, the aircraft experienced a small climb, rising from 2,675 feet to 3,246 feet over the course of 2 minutes as it crossed the region near the town of Fraunberg. Following this minor climb, the final enroute level cruise began 1 mile north-east of Fraunberg and lasted for just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at Munich Airport was initiated from the east, with an angle of 265.0 ° at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the airport. However, due to adverse weather conditions and potential difficulties in navigating the aircraft safely to touchdown, a go-around was initiated at 1,469 feet above ground level.
Despite this initial go-around, the aircraft landed safely on runway 26R, covering a total distance of 796 meters, which represents approximately 20% of the runway's length. The weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 19 °C and a wind blowing at 11 kt from 290 °, with a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 10 kt. The touchdown speed during the landing was 111 kt, and the touchdown distance was good at 359 meters.
However, the touchdown rate was quite heavy at -734 feet per minute, and the aircraft experienced difficulties with its runway alignment, being 11.2 meters away from the centerline at touchdown and 10.9 meters away from the centerline during rollout. The total land distance covered by the aircraft was 261 nautical miles, and it utilized 0 kilograms of fuel during the entire flight, which lasted for approximately 49 minutes.
The Boeing 737 has completed its landing at Munich Airport (EDDM). The final approach to runway 26R from the east was initiated at an altitude of 1,721 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway, flying at a heading of 265.0°. The touchdown on the runway occurred without significant issues, with a threshold speed of 130 knots and a touchdown speed of 111 knots, both of which were considered good.
However, there were some areas of concern during the landing. The touchdown rate was particularly heavy, coming in at -734 feet per minute (fpm), which is significantly higher than the ideal rate. This could be a result of the pilot braking too aggressively, which could be a concern in terms of passenger comfort and potential damage to the aircraft.
Another issue was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position with the centreline. The aircraft touched down 11.2 meters off-centre, which is a significant deviation and could affect the stability and performance of the aircraft during the subsequent rollout on the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by approximately 10.9 meters from the centreline, although this was not as severe as the initial touchdown misalignment.
The weather conditions during the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 19°C and a gentle wind of 11 knots from 290°. The crosswind was minimal, at 5 knots, but there was a headwind of 10 knots, which could have had some effect on the aircraft's approach and landing performance. The overall total landing distance came in at 796 meters, which is within the 20% limit of the runway length.
