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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,528 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,528 m of the 3,189 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 552 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 35R at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,462 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 239 degrees. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Casorate Sempione in Lombardia, Italy. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 528 meters above sea level to 11,055 meters above sea level, an increase of 10,527.3 meters, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south of Trun in Kanton Graubunden, Switzerland. This phase lasted for 43 minutes and covered a distance of 287 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Scheden in Lower Saxony, Germany. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 10,957 meters above sea level to 443 meters above sea level, a decrease of 10,514.5 meters, in 25 minutes and covering a distance of 129 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27R at EDDV Hannover Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 273.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 386.8 meters above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27R, which had a length of 3,189 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 150 knots. The touchdown point was 137 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 145 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -2.5 meters per second, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 280 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,448 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.8 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 555 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 105 minutes. The aircraft used 4,297 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EDDV Hannover Airport, but with some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 273.0° at an altitude of 386.8 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on runway 27R, which has a length of 3,189 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 150 knots. This may indicate a slight delay in the aircraft's descent or a slight increase in airspeed during the final approach. The touchdown point was 137 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 145 knots was a little fast, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down with a higher rate of descent than intended.
The touchdown rate was also hard at -2.5 meters per second, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 280°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 8 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight deviations in the landing parameters.
The total landing distance was 1,448 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. This is a relatively normal landing distance, but it may indicate that the aircraft touched down with a higher rate of descent than intended. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 13.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but with some minor deviations from the ideal parameters. These deviations may be due to a combination of factors, including the aircraft's performance, the pilot's technique, and the weather conditions.
