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 9,341 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,092 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 19R at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport in Stockholm, Sweden. The takeoff distance was 3,393 feet, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 52°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 260°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. After departing from Stockholm, the enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,140 feet above sea level to 36,709 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,569 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 9 miles south east of Boxholm, Sweden, and lasted for 53 minutes, covering a distance of 387 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 1 mile south east of Wirdum, Germany, and descended from 36,881 feet above sea level to 1,280 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,600 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 110 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18C at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the north, heading 183.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,280 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18C was successful, with a runway length of 9,341 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 131 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,093 feet, and the touchdown speed was 122 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -111 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol were a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 8 knots at 110°. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 3,992 feet, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking from the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 629 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 106 minutes. The aircraft used 9,192 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 18C was executed from the north, with the aircraft heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for the approach. The threshold speed of 131 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 1,093 feet was also satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 122 knots was within the recommended limits.
The touchdown rate of -111 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilots had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and maintained a stable approach. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots had accurately aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from 110°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 3,992 feet was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots had successfully controlled the aircraft's rotation and deceleration during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-700 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was a textbook example of safe and efficient flight operations. The pilots' skills and experience were evident in their ability to navigate the aircraft through challenging weather conditions and execute a smooth and controlled landing.
