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.

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 2,161 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,161 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 799 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 26R at EKYT Aalborg Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,194 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 310 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile west of EKYT Aalborg Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,040 feet above sea level to 22,852 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,812 feet, in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 46 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles northwest of Hornslet and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 3 miles northwest of EKSS Samsø Airfield, where the aircraft descended from 22,416 feet above sea level to 1,284 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,132 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 71 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport was made from the southwest, heading 41.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 04L, which had a length of 2,996 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 146 knots.
The touchdown point was 389 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -201 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 280 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 16 knots and a tailwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,085 meters, which was 70% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 154 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 2,001 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 04L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, but with some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 41.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 389 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run.
The touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly above the target speed, which could have contributed to the over-run. However, the touchdown rate of -201 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing relatively smoothly. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 280°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 16 knots and a tailwind component of 10 knots. The aircraft's performance was likely affected by these wind conditions, which may have contributed to the slight deviations in the landing parameters.
The total landing distance of 2,085 meters was 70% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but with some minor deviations from the ideal parameters. The aircraft's performance was likely affected by the wind conditions and the slight deviations in the landing parameters may have been due to a combination of factors, including the aircraft's alignment and the pilot's control inputs.
