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 1,821 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,821 m of the 2,744 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 590 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 26 at EPBY Bydgoszcz Ignacy Jan Paderewski Airport in Bydgoszcz, Poland. The takeoff distance was 1,444 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 219°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was also 5 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb after departing the airport, and it started to ascend from an altitude of 1,225 feet above sea level to 35,295 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 107 nautical miles and took 19 minutes to complete.
The enroute climb phase ended when the aircraft reached the cruising altitude, and it began to level off. The level cruise phase started overhead Stanowice, a location in the Lubusz Voivodeship, Poland. During this phase, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 65 minutes, covering a distance of 413 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 2 miles northwest of Ouddorp, a location in the Provincie Zuid-Holland, Netherlands. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,410 feet above sea level to 1,631 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,780 feet in 29 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 133 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport was made from the north-east, with a heading of 223.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,281 feet above ground level at this point. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 240°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport, which had a length of 2,744 meters. The threshold height at 89 feet above ground level was significantly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 145 knots. The touchdown point was 176 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 139 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -145 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,741 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft took 10 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 659 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 128 minutes. The aircraft used 4,743 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at London Stansted Airport, achieving an impressive score of 86.7%. The final approach to runway 22 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 223.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was characterized by a good threshold speed of 145 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. However, the threshold height at 89 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach path. Despite this, the touchdown point was 176 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 139 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -145 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,741 meters was 63% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed, smooth touchdown rate, and proper runway alignment. However, the slightly above-target threshold height and touchdown point beyond the touchdown zone are areas for improvement.
