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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,527 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 569 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 35L at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,098 meters, which was 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 138 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 20 knots coming from a direction of 299 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Pusignan, France, and climbed from an altitude of 1,798 feet above sea level to 29,408 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,610 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 131 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles north east of Poilly-sur-Serein, France, and lasted for 48 minutes, covering a distance of 171 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles north of Rumillies, Belgium, and descended from an altitude of 29,623 feet above sea level to 1,225 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,398 feet, in 26 minutes and covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18R at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the north, heading 183.0 degrees, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,224 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 18R, which had a length of 3,527 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 122 knots. The touchdown point was 145 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 108 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -223 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots coming from a direction of 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,132 meters, which was 32% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 428 nautical miles, which was covered in 115 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,966 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol with a score of 98.0%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,224 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 18R, which has a length of 3,527 meters.
The landing was deemed satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 122 knots. The touchdown point was located 145 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 108 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -223 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.2 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 220°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,132 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent during the landing process. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with only minor deviations from optimal performance.
