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 1,634 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,634 m of the 3,075 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 911 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 04R at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, located in Nice, France. The takeoff distance was 1,199 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and winds of 8 knots at 80 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,043 feet above sea level to 34,363 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,319 feet in 23 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 142 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Verchaix, France, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering a distance of 205 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 34,300 feet above sea level to 2,150 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,150 feet in 16 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 102 nautical miles and took place overhead Dalheim, Luxembourg.
The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Aarschot, Belgium, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25R at Brussels Airport was made from the north-east, heading 245.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,235 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 25R at Brussels Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 488 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -268 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and winds of 4 knots at 170 degrees, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,547 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 467 nautical miles, which was covered in 70 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,371 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 25R, achieving an overall score of 85.2%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,235 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was characterized by a threshold height that was significantly above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach path. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 144 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 488 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant deviation. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the touchdown rate of -268 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have achieved a smoother touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor error in the pilot's alignment. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 9°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 170°, and a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 1,547 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a relatively acceptable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's deceleration and alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot demonstrated a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics, and was able to achieve a satisfactory touchdown and rollout. However, there is room for improvement in terms of approach path management and touchdown rate.
