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 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 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 567 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, FWB Norwegian LN-DYD, then departed from runway 17 at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland. The takeoff distance was 1,363 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Flesland, and climbed from an altitude of 1,104 feet above sea level to 38,633 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,529 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles west of Hauge i Dalane and lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 192 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northwest of EK04 Soenderho-Fanoe Sønderho, and descended from 39,009 feet above sea level to 1,293 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,716 feet, in 30 minutes and covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was made from the southwest, heading 50.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,244 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 05, which had a length of 2,790 meters. The threshold speed was 127 knots, and the touchdown point was 156 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 123 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -222 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,163 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 440 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 84 minutes. The aircraft used 2,685 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, FWB Norwegian LN-DYD, successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a high score of 93.7%. The final approach was conducted from the south-west, heading 50.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,244 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 05, which has a length of 2,790 meters.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 127 knots was also met, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown point was 156 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance, and the touchdown speed of 123 knots was slightly below the threshold speed.
The touchdown rate of -222 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft touched down with a moderate amount of force. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 270°.
The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, and the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach. The total landing distance was 1,163 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's speed and descent rate effectively.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and landing phases.
