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 1,703 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,703 m of the 2,301 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 777 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 05 at LDSP Split Airport. The takeoff distance was 962 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 20 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Kastel Stafilic in Split-Dalmatia, Croatia. The climb took 23 minutes and covered 135 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,108 feet above sea level to 37,576 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,468 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile east of Velika Barna in Bjelovar-Bilogora, Croatia. This cruise phase lasted 41 minutes and covered 313 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile north of Laskowa in Wojewodztwo Swietokrzyskie, Poland. The descent took 21 minutes and covered 100 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 37,665 feet above sea level to 4,530 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,135 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile northeast of Paprotnia in Masovian Voivodeship, Poland. This cruise phase lasted 6 minutes and covered 15 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 11 at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 115.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 11 at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport was successful, with the touchdown point being 357 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -214 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1 degree Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,618 meters, which accounted for 70% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 571 nautical miles, and the flight took 101 minutes. The aircraft used 4,295 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport, achieving a high score of 90.9%. The final approach to runway 11 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 115.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 140 knots being well within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 357 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal position but still within a safe margin. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also good, indicating a controlled descent.
However, the touchdown rate of -214 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the final stages of the approach. This could be attributed to various factors, including the aircraft's configuration, the pilot's technique, or the wind conditions.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which is relatively light and should not have significantly impacted the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,618 meters was 70% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the wind conditions. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and maintaining a stable alignment during the rollout phase. However, there is room for improvement in terms of the touchdown rate, which could be addressed through adjustments to the aircraft's configuration or the pilot's technique.
