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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,791 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 679 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 32R at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (LFBO), located in Toulouse, France. The takeoff distance was 1,254 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 282 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 108 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,523 feet above sea level to 31,359 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,836 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead the town of Saint-Antoine-Cumond in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. This phase lasted for 21 minutes and covered a distance of 163 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead the town of Missillac in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The descent took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 112 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 31,354 feet above sea level to 1,518 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,837 feet.
The final approach to runway 07R at Brest Bretagne Airport (LFRB) was made from the west, with a heading of 71.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,191 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 2,791 meters. The threshold height at 58 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 140 knots. The touchdown point was 259 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -151 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 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 140 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,391 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 391 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 74 minutes. The aircraft used 3,159 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LFRB Brest Bretagne Airport, achieving a high score of 96.2%. The final approach to runway 07R was conducted from the west, with a heading of 71.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,191 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being slightly above the target at 58 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was well within the acceptable range at 140 knots. The touchdown point was located 259 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The aircraft's touchdown rate of -151 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range, suggesting a gentle and controlled touchdown. 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 characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 140°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but the aircraft's performance was not significantly affected.
The total landing distance of 1,391 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a relatively short distance, indicating a high degree of control and precision. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well in challenging weather conditions. The high score of 96.2% reflects the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance, demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control.
