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 six 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 2,847 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 380 m touchdown sits inside 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 then departed from runway 31 at CYQX Gander International Airport / CFB Gander, with a takeoff distance of 965 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 137 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -4°C, a wind speed of 13 knots at 279°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started at an altitude of 1,524 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 37,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,485 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 139 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase began approximately 1 mile northwest of CYQX Gander International Airport / CFB Gander. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 97 miles northeast of Bonavista, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and lasted for 211 minutes, covering a distance of 1,947 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 6 miles northeast of Happisburgh, Norfolk, England, and the aircraft descended from 36,997 feet above sea level to 6,035 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,962 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 44 miles west of Bergen aan Zee, Provincie Noord-Holland, The Netherlands, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 19 miles west of Wijk aan Zee, Provincie Noord-Holland, The Netherlands, and the aircraft descended from 5,997 feet above sea level to 3,009 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,988 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northwest of Wijk aan Zee, Provincie Noord-Holland, The Netherlands, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final enroute descent phase began 2 miles west of Zaanstad, Provincie Noord-Holland, The Netherlands, and the aircraft descended from 2,645 feet above sea level to 1,384 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,261 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 18C at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, heading 183.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,385 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 18C at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was successful, with a touchdown distance of 379 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 113 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -321 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -1°C, a wind speed of 21 knots at 150°, with a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 18 knots.
The total landing distance was 771 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,211 nautical miles, taking 269 minutes,
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 97.9%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,385 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 18C, which has a length of 2,847 meters.
The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation in the approach. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 119 knots, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown distance of 379 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
Despite a slightly fast touchdown speed of 113 knots, the touchdown rate was firm at -321 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting a controlled and stable descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline, which may require attention to improve the accuracy of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and wind speeds of 21 knots at 150°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 18 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge to the pilot, but the aircraft's performance and control were satisfactory.
The total landing distance of 771 meters was 27% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled transition from the landing phase to the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, despite some minor deviations from the target parameters.
