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 1,895 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,895 m of the 3,082 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 940 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 30 at LEBB Bilbao Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,335 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 300°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started to ascend from 1,225 feet above sea level to 34,959 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,733 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 126 nautical miles. The enroute climb began 1 mile east of Erandio, in the Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoa region of Spain. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of Leognan in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. This phase lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 290 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began overhead Etrepagny in the Normandie region of France, where the aircraft descended from 34,608 feet above sea level to 2,160 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,448 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 165 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south-east of Morkhoven in the Flanders region of Belgium. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport was made from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 25L, which had a length of 3,082 meters. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was good at 143 knots. The touchdown point was 526 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -154 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 180°. The crosswind was 11 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,816 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 602 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 77 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,993 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 25L, achieving an overall score of 84.6%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with the threshold height being well above the target, indicating a safe margin for the aircraft to touch down. The threshold speed was also good, at 143 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown point was 526 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center but not significantly impacting the overall performance.
The touchdown speed of 135 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -154 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is crucial for a safe landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 180°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not significantly impact the aircraft's performance during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,816 meters, which is 59% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during future landings.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft performed well during the landing at Brussels Airport, with a good score of 84.6%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown point and runway rollout alignment, the aircraft's performance was generally satisfactory, and the landing was completed safely.
