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 1,527 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,527 m of the 2,485 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 655 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 33 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,549 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Chelmsley Wood in Solihull, England. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,310 feet above sea level to 5,814 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,503 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Fillongley in Warwickshire, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from an altitude of 5,790 feet above sea level to 34,756 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,967 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 111 nautical miles. The climb took the aircraft over Wolston in Warwickshire, England.
The enroute level cruise continued, starting 2 miles east of Leiston in Suffolk, England, and lasted for 67 minutes, covering a distance of 502 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Gralewo in the Lubusz Voivodeship, Poland. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 34,034 feet above sea level to 1,539 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,495 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at EPBY Bydgoszcz Ignacy Jan Paderewski Airport was made from the east, heading 261.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 241 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -98 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 239 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,448 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 737 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 124 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,863 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EPBY Bydgoszcz Ignacy Jan Paderewski Airport, achieving a high score of 95.9%. The final approach to runway 26 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 261.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level.
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 142 knots. The touchdown point was 241 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The aircraft's rate of descent was particularly noteworthy, with an excellent touchdown rate of -98 feet per minute. This suggests that the pilots maintained a high degree of control and precision throughout the landing, resulting in a smooth and stable touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 239°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,448 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to maintain a high degree of control and precision throughout the landing, resulting in a short and efficient rollout.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a high degree of control and precision throughout the landing. Overall, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft's performance during this landing was exceptional, with a high score and a smooth, controlled touchdown.
