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: gear still up and sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,663 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,663 m of the 3,527 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 932 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 737-800 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGGD Bristol Airport, a process that took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 27, with the aircraft taking off after covering 51% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 952 meters, and the liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 21 knots blowing from a direction of 280°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 21 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead EGGD Bristol Airport and rising from an altitude of 1,547 feet above sea level to 28,011 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,464 feet in 12 minutes and covering 31 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile west of Broad Hinton in Wiltshire, England. This phase of the flight lasted 20 minutes and covered 142 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 12 miles southeast of Aldeburgh in Suffolk, England, and descending from 27,459 feet above sea level to 9,174 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,285 feet in 14 minutes and covering 89 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 15 miles west of Zandvoort in the Netherlands, and lasting 3 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. The descent phase that followed began 1 mile north of Zandvoort and saw the aircraft descend from 9,155 feet above sea level to 1,942 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,213 feet in 5 minutes and covering 18 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile west of Sint Pancras in the Netherlands, and lasting 5 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 183.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,292 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 18R was successful, with the aircraft touching down 513 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -201 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots blowing from a direction of 160°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,579 meters, which was 45% of the runway's length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then began taxiing to the parking area, a process that took 16 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 318 nautical miles, took 77 minutes, and used 2,969 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 87.7%. The final approach to runway 18R was initiated from the north, with a heading of 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 136 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 513 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots. Although the touchdown speed was within acceptable limits, the touchdown rate was slightly below average at -201 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was, however, perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,579 meters, which corresponds to approximately 45% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline, which may be a minor concern for future landings.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely within the designated area. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment.
