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.

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 1,557 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,557 m of the 2,544 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 590 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 12 at LIPE Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,154 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. There was a slight tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead LIPE Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 70 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,151 feet above sea level to 40,033 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,882 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Pistrino in Umbria, Italy. This phase lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 186 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead San Giovanni a Teduccio in Campania, Italy. The descent took 29 minutes and covered a distance of 143 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 40,221 feet above sea level to 1,261 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,960 feet.
The final approach to runway 10 at LICA Lamezia Terme Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 98.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,219 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 10, which had a length of 2,544 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 134 knots.
The touchdown point was 169 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was firm at -324 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.3 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 90 degrees, with a slight headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,471 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.7 meters. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 407 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 87 minutes. The aircraft used 2,819 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LICA Lamezia Terme Airport, with a final approach score of 91.7%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 98.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,219 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 10, which has a length of 2,544 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 134 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for the landing.
The touchdown point was 169 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate that the aircraft was slightly long on the landing. The touchdown speed was also reported as fast, at 125 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft being slightly beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown rate was firm, at -324 feet per minute (fpm), which is a relatively high rate of descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 7.3 meters. This may have been due to the aircraft's alignment during the approach or the pilot's decision to touch down slightly off-center. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were a temperature of 8°C and a wind of 8 knots at 90°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,471 meters, which is 58% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 9.7 meters. This may have been due to the aircraft's alignment during the rollout or the pilot's decision to maintain a slightly offset position on the runway.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the aircraft's alignment and touchdown speed. The pilots were able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly, but there may be opportunities for improvement in terms of alignment and touchdown speed.
