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 1,972 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,972 m of the 3,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 544 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 05 at LFBD Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,506 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 171 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 12 knots at 39°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 12 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south of Le Haillan in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,199 feet above sea level to 32,952 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,752 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile north of Champagne-Saint-Hilaire in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. This phase lasted for 42 minutes and covered a distance of 269 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started overhead Oignies in Hauts-de-France, France, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 33,206 feet above sea level to 1,269 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,937 feet in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the southwest, heading 58.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 06, which had a length of 3,191 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 150 knots. The touchdown point was 133 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 146 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -372 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 13°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was also 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,896 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 500 nautical miles and took 103 minutes. The aircraft used 4,122 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 93.0%. The final approach to runway 06 was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 58.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 150 knots. The touchdown point was located 133 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 146 knots was also a bit faster than desired, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -372 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.9 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 13°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was also 6 knots, resulting in a relatively calm wind environment.
The total landing distance of 1,896 meters was 59% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll and were able to bring it to a stop in a straight line. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
