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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,720 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,720 m of the 2,114 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 985 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 27 at EGGD Bristol Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,046 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 22 knots at 209 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 18 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,605 feet above sea level to 5,774 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,169 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute climb continued as the aircraft flew over various locations, including Kingston Seymour and Bargoed. The climb from 5,880 feet above sea level to 25,838 feet above sea level, an increase of 19,958 feet, took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 56 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 12 minutes and covered a distance of 91 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began as the aircraft flew over Embsay and Welshpool. The descent from 25,774 feet above sea level to 3,451 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,322 feet, took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 58 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at EGNT Newcastle Airport was made from the north east, with the aircraft heading 245.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,269 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 566 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -238 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots at 230 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. The total landing distance was 1,636 meters, which accounted for 77% 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 267 nautical miles, which was covered in 59 minutes. The aircraft used 2,743 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EGNT Newcastle Airport, with a final approach from the north east at a heading of 245.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway at the time of the final approach. The landing was executed on runway 25, which has a length of 2,114 meters.
The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing height. However, the threshold speed of 138 knots was within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown point was 566 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance, but the touchdown speed of 128 knots was still within the acceptable range.
The touchdown rate of -238 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots at 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 15 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance of 1,636 meters was 77% of the runway length, indicating a relatively long landing roll.
Despite the minor deviations in the landing, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's roll-out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with some minor areas for improvement.
