Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 76 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 76 ft, 31 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 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 2,546 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 309 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 04 at LDZA Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,170 meters, which is 36% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 40°. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Velika Kosnica, a location in Zagreb County, Croatia, and continued to an altitude of 39,257 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 256 nautical miles and took 38 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 37,870 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Chvalikovice, a location in Moravskoslezsky kraj, Czech Republic. This phase lasted for 147 minutes and covered a distance of 900 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 38,647 feet above sea level to 2,856 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,792 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles.
The descent phase was followed by a brief level cruise phase, which started 9 miles west of Kuusamo, a location in Pohjois-Pohjanmaa, Finland. This phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 12 at EFKS Kuusamo Airport, approaching from the northwest at a heading of 133.0° and at an altitude of 1,296 feet above ground level.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 311 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, and the touchdown rate was -179 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 360°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 1 knot.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,296 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 197 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,031 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EFKS Kuusamo Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 12 was executed from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 133.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,296 feet above ground level.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for the approach. The threshold speed of 135 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 311 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown speed of 128 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -179 feet per minute was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a stable and consistent approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 360°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The total landing distance of 851 meters, which accounted for only 33% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's exceptional skills and the aircraft's performance.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable stop at the end of the runway. Overall, the landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing, demonstrating the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
