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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,725 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,725 m of the 2,507 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 686 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 a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 15 at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,879 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -9 °C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 120°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb overhead Dawidy in the Masovian Voivodeship, Poland. The climb began at an altitude of 1,327 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 30,998 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,671 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles south of Zawady in the Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles. Following the cruise, the aircraft began its enroute descent 5 miles southwest of Giby in the Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland. The descent started at an altitude of 31,000 feet above sea level and ended at an altitude of 1,720 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,280 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 19 at EYVI Vilnius International Airport was made from the north, heading 202.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,066 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 19, which had a length of 2,507 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 142 knots.
The touchdown point was 266 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -329 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -16 °C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 169°.
The total landing distance was 1,641 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 271 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 2,466 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EYVI Vilnius International Airport, achieving a high score of 93.0%. The final approach to runway 19 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 202.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,066 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 142 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 266 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -329 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a smooth and stable landing.
One notable aspect of the landing was the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 3.6 meters off-centerline. This deviation may have been due to various factors, including wind or pilot error. Nevertheless, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied effectively to bring the plane to a stop.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -16°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 169°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the aircraft's performance was generally good.
In terms of the landing distance, the aircraft traveled a total of 1,641 meters, which is approximately 65% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the landing process. Overall, the Boeing 737-800's landing at EYVI Vilnius International Airport was a successful one, with a high score and good performance in various aspects of the landing.
