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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,260 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 703 ft 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 04 at Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG). The takeoff distance was 3,360 feet, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 43°F and winds of 7 knots at 32°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Le Grand-Saconnex in Geneva, Switzerland, and the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,381 feet above sea level to 38,278 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,897 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 141 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Pont-Saint-Vincent Airfield in Grand Est, France, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 133 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile east of Jauchelette in Wallonia, Belgium, and the aircraft descended from 38,610 feet above sea level to 1,266 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,344 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36R at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (EHAM) was made from the south, heading 3.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,258 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 36R was successful, with a runway length of 9,260 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 128 knots. The touchdown distance was 705 feet, and the touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -317 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 36°F and winds of 3 knots at 340°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 3,872 feet, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 372 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 76 minutes. The aircraft used 6,820 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 36R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 99.0%. The final approach was conducted from the south, with a heading of 3.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision during the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway with a speed of 128 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained a firm rate of descent, with a rate of -317 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates a controlled and stable landing, with the aircraft not experiencing any significant deceleration or loss of altitude. The touchdown distance of 705 feet was also within the acceptable range, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 36°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 340°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the approach and landing. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The total landing distance of 3,872 feet was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision during the landing, minimizing the distance required to come to a stop. Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control during the landing.
