Flight Score
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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,075 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 471 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 26 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 23L at Düsseldorf Airport, EDDL, with a takeoff distance of 1,283 meters, which was 54% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 10°C temperature and a wind of 15 knots at 150°. The crosswind was 15 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from Düsseldorf, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Meerbusch, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, and lasting 7 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began an enroute climb from 810 feet above sea level to 3,413 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,603 feet, in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. This climb phase started 1 mile south east of Steyl, Provincie Limburg, The Netherlands. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise at various altitudes and locations, including Roermond, Heinsberg, Geilenkirchen, Aubel, Soumagne, Vottem, Sint-Truiden, Bekkevoort, Baal, Schepdaal, Galmaarden, Riemst, and Kortenaken.
During these enroute climbs and level cruises, the aircraft encountered various weather conditions, including temperature and wind changes. The aircraft also began a descent phase from 15,002 feet above sea level to 10,989 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,014 feet, in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. This descent started 1 mile south east of Schepdaal, Flanders, Belgium.
The aircraft then entered a final approach phase to runway 25R at Brussels Airport, EBBR, from the north east, heading 245.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,353 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 25R, which had a length of 3,075 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 127 knots.
The touchdown point was 50 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -423 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, but the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 21.7 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 9°C temperature and a wind of 13 knots at 160°, with a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 304 nautical miles, and the flight took 79 minutes, using 1,352 kilograms of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport, achieving an overall score of 85.5%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,353 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 127 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 50 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 121 knots, which was faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was also hard, at -423 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was 13 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,401 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway length. While this is a relatively short landing distance, it is worth noting that the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 21.7 meters from the centerline. This suggests that the aircraft may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, it was still a successful operation, and the aircraft's score of 85.5% reflects a good performance. However, the misaligned runway rollout and hard touchdown rate are areas that could be improved upon in future landings.
