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 six checks at 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 3,707 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 422 m 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 approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an ATR 72, then departed from runway 24L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,241 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 128 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 160°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile southwest of EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, rising from an altitude of 702 feet above sea level to 19,014 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,313 feet. This climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 76 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northeast of Demitz-Thumitz, Germany. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 32 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile northwest of Holany, Czech Republic. The descent took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 30 nautical miles, during which the aircraft dropped from an altitude of 19,060 feet above sea level to 2,476 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 24 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague was made from the northeast, with a heading of 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 24 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 421 meters, which was 22% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 98 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -322 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 190°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 800 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 145 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 56 minutes. The aircraft used 420 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague, achieving a score of 94.1%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 24, which has a length of 3,707 meters.
The threshold height at 63 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired at the point of touchdown. However, the threshold speed was good at 108 knots, demonstrating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The touchdown distance of 421 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 98 knots was good.
The touchdown rate of -322 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the approach procedure.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 190°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 800 meters was 22% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a good score and demonstrating a high level of proficiency in landing procedures.
