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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,587 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 893 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a C750, then departed from runway 09R at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL). The takeoff distance was 2,745 feet, which is 25% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 148 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 149°. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile north of Feltham, Greater London, England, and climbed from an altitude of 1,083 feet above sea level to 32,627 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,543 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 68 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile southwest of Painswick, Gloucestershire, England, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 122 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 28 miles northwest of Goodwick, Pembrokeshire, Wales, and descended from an altitude of 32,981 feet above sea level to 2,336 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,646 feet, in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 62 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time starting 4 miles east of Howth, Leinster, Ireland, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 28L at Dublin Airport (EIDW) was made from the east, heading 275.0° at an altitude of 1,239 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 28L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 898 feet, which is 27% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was slightly fast at 118 knots, and the touchdown rate was heavy at -699 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 53°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 189°, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 2,330 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 269 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes, using 1,813 pounds of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 28L at Dublin Airport (EIDW) with a score of 93.2%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 275.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,239 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 8,587 feet.
The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation in the approach. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 118 knots, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown distance of 898 feet was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
Despite the satisfactory touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 118 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a heavy touchdown rate of -699 feet per minute (fpm). This could potentially have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may have affected the overall safety of the landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the approach or a slight miscalculation of the aircraft's position. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 53°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from 189°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions may have presented some challenges for the pilot, but they did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
