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 five checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,707 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,707 m of the 2,982 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 716 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 35L at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,422 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 315 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Casorate Sempione in Lombardia, Italy. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 111 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 548 meters above sea level to 10,903 meters above sea level.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Segonzano in Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy. This phase lasted for 161 minutes and covered a distance of 1,215 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 8 miles east of Hailuoto in Pohjois-Pohjanmaa, Finland. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 10,327 meters above sea level to 728 meters above sea level.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 11 miles north of EFRO Rovaniemi Airport in Rovaniemi, Lapland, Finland. This phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 21 at EFRO Rovaniemi Airport, approaching from the northeast at a heading of 217.0 degrees and an altitude of 387.4 meters above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 21, which had a length of 2,982 meters. The threshold height was excessively above target, while the threshold speed was slightly above target. The touchdown point was 300 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -1.1 meters per second, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 97 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,626 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,448 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 219 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,591 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EFRO Rovaniemi Airport, with a final approach from the north east, heading 217.0° at 4 nautical miles and 387.4 meters above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 21, which has a length of 2,982 meters.
The approach and landing performance of the aircraft was evaluated, with the threshold height being excessively over target at 33.9 meters agl. However, the threshold speed was slightly above target at 144 knots, indicating a relatively smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was 300 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting of the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 137 knots was a little fast, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly over-controlled during the final stages of the approach. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -1.1 meters per second was considered fair, indicating a relatively smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -15°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 97°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed and the over-shooting of the touchdown zone.
The total landing distance of 1,626 meters was 55% of the runway length, indicating a relatively long landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the target values.
