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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,694 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 517 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 26L at LROP Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,808 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 250°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb overhead LROP Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport. The climb took 38 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,282 feet above sea level to 37,720 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,438 feet. The distance covered during this period was 261 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles west of Csorvas, a location in Bekes County, Hungary. This phase of the flight lasted 85 minutes and covered a distance of 598 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead EDKX Segelflugplatz Konz-Könen Kanzem, a location in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. The descent took 24 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 37,527 feet above sea level to 1,615 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,912 feet. The distance covered during this period was 156 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 265.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,244 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 26L, which had a length of 2,694 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 130 knots.
The touchdown point was 97 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 120 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -277 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 130°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and there was a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,187 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. 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 1,024 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 158 minutes. The aircraft used 6,833 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport on runway 26L. The final approach was executed from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,244 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 130 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing speed. However, the touchdown point was 97 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is still within an acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was a little fast, but the aircraft managed to maintain a fair touchdown rate of -277 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 130°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 2 knots each, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,187 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase, which is essential for safe taxiing.
Overall, the landing was successful, with a score of 98.7%. The slight deviations from the ideal landing speed and touchdown point were minor and did not compromise the safety of the aircraft or its occupants.
