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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 305 m gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,974 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,974 m of the 2,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 994 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 09 at EGGD Bristol Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,337 meters, which accounted for 71% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Winford in North Somerset, England. The climb from 1,530 feet above sea level to 3,942 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,412 feet, was achieved in just 1 minute and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Pensford in Bath and North East Somerset, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 4,270 feet above sea level to 30,949 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,679 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 49 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then resumed, starting overhead Topsham in Devon, England, and lasted for 53 minutes, covering a distance of 363 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 69 miles north of Noja in Cantabria, Spain. The descent from 31,347 feet above sea level to 5,998 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,349 feet, was achieved in 15 minutes and covered a distance of 93 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then resumed, starting overhead Elorrio in Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoa, Spain, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles west of Arrasate / Mondragon in Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoa, Spain. The descent from 5,979 feet above sea level to 4,341 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,638 feet, was achieved in 3 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then resumed, starting 3 miles north of Durango in Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoa, Spain, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The final descent began 2 miles northwest of Durango, and the aircraft descended from 4,316 feet above sea level to 1,593 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,723 feet, in 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 30 at LEBB Bilbao Airport, flying from the southeast and heading 297.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,462 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 30 at LEBB Bilbao Airport, which had a length of 2,130 meters, was successful, with the threshold height being above target and the threshold speed being good at 136 knots. The touchdown point was 573 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -89 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LEBB Bilbao Airport, achieving a score of 78.1%. The final approach to runway 30 was initiated from the south east, with a heading of 297.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,462 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being above the target at 68 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 136 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 573 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance but still within acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 131 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating a well-executed landing. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -89 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 1,888 meters was 89% of the runway length, which is a relatively long distance but still within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.6 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal alignment. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there is room for improvement in terms of alignment and touchdown distance.
