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 1,674 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,674 m of the 3,110 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 641 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

The flight in the Boeing 737-800 began with a 6-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport. The departure roll on runway 07 covered 1,088 meters, which was 38% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 22°C with a 4 knot wind coming from 100°, resulting in a 2 knot crosswind and 3 knot headwind.
The enroute climb started overhead Villeneuve-le-Roi in Ile-de-France, France. The aircraft climbed from 1,317 feet above sea level to 31,946 feet, covering a distance of 83 nautical miles in 17 minutes. The enroute level cruise began 1 mile northeast of Tours-en-Vimeu in Hauts-de-France, lasting for 41 minutes and covering 285 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles northeast of Talysarn in Gwynedd, Wales. The descent took the aircraft from 31,802 feet above sea level to 3,244 feet, covering 90 nautical miles in 18 minutes. Another enroute level cruise segment started 2 miles northeast of Kilcock in Leinster, Ireland lasting 11 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles.
The landing occurred on runway 10L at EIDW Dublin Airport, which has a runway length of 3,110 meters. The aircraft was at a height of 46 feet above ground level at the threshold with a speed of 143 knots. The touchdown point was 643 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 131 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -242 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 16°C with a 6 knot wind from 140°, resulting in a 4 knot crosswind and 4 knot headwind. The total landing distance was 1,595 meters, which was 51% of the total runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 474 nautical miles, which took 98 minutes to complete and required 4,810 kilograms of fuel.
