Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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.
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 5,763 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,763 ft of the 8,587 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,459 ft 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 24L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport. The takeoff distance was 6,409 feet, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 169 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 53°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 260°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,091 feet above sea level to 35,769 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,678 feet, in 21 minutes and covering 125 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northeast of Uetze, Germany, and lasted for 76 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered 499 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 14 miles west of Formby, England, and lasted for 21 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 35,998 feet above sea level to 3,003 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,995 feet, and covered 106 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 11 miles east of Howth, Ireland, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 28L at EIDW Dublin Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 275.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,363 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 28L at EIDW Dublin Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 1,089 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed at 152 knots, while the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -102 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 54°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 240°.
The total landing distance was 5,493 feet, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 753 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 137 minutes. The aircraft used 12,635 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Dublin Airport (EIDW) on runway 28L, achieving a score of 96.2%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 275.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,363 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 152 kt, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed of 138 kt. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -102 fpm, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was well-managed and controlled. 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 landing were favorable, with a temperature of 54°F and a gentle wind of 4 kt from 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 3 kt, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve the landing performance. The total landing distance was 5,493 ft, which is 64% of the runway length of 8,587 ft. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was characterized by a good approach, smooth touchdown, and controlled rollout, resulting in a high score of 96.2%.
