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 1,549 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,549 m of the 2,617 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 302 m touchdown sits inside 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 10 at Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) in Iceland. The takeoff distance was 1,007 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 27 knots at a direction of 70°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 25 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,210 feet above sea level to 5,232 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,023 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started over the Keflavik International Airport, and the aircraft continued to climb to a higher altitude. The climb from 5,179 feet above sea level to 32,709 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,530 feet, took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 133 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which lasted for 76 minutes and covered a distance of 589 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles south of Sligo in Ireland, and the aircraft descended from 33,261 feet above sea level to 7,875 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,385 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 103 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 23 nautical miles.
The final descent started 18 miles east of Howth in Ireland, and the aircraft descended from 7,426 feet above sea level to 2,953 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,473 feet, in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final descent started 2 miles east of Howth, and the aircraft descended from 2,945 feet above sea level to 1,473 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,472 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 28L at Dublin Airport (EIDW) from the east, heading 275.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,252 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 28L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 305 meters and a touchdown speed of 133 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was firm at -332 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots at a direction of 250°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,465 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 902 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 147 minutes. The aircraft used 5,935 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Dublin Airport's runway 28L, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 275.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 141 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 305 meters, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -332 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway with a moderate amount of force.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the aircraft's landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,465 meters was 56% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and were able to bring it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, despite a few minor deviations from the target parameters.
