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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,470 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 835 ft touchdown sits inside 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 04L at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,846 feet, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 42 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 20 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport. The climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 112 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,072 feet above sea level to 39,003 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,931 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Innsbruck, Austria. This phase lasted for 42 minutes and covered a distance of 285 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles south east of Soest, Germany. The descent took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 113 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 39,130 feet above sea level to 10,147 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,983 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Lelystad, Netherlands. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 23 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 2 miles north of Amstelveen, Netherlands. The descent took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 9,557 feet above sea level to 1,270 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,287 feet.
The final approach to runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the south west, with a heading of 58.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 840 feet, which was 29% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 125 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -207 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Fahrenheit. The total landing distance was 3,088 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 550 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 110 minutes. The aircraft used 9,090 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a high score of 99.4%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 58.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 131 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 840 feet was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 125 knots was also good.
However, the touchdown rate of -207 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 landing. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 27°F, which may have affected the aircraft's performance and handling. Nevertheless, the total landing distance of 3,088 feet was only 29% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained good control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and within the desired parameters. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate, the overall performance of the aircraft and the pilot was satisfactory.
