Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,884 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,884 m of the 2,317 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 452 m 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 28 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 24 at Edinburgh Airport (EGPH), with a takeoff distance of 609 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 136 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 26 knots from a direction of 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 23 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Ratho Station in the City of Edinburgh, Scotland. The climb took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 35 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,125 feet above sea level to 26,229 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,104 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile southwest of Muirkirk in East Ayrshire, Scotland. This cruise phase lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 117 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Hoghton in Lancashire, England. The descent took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 51 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 26,558 feet above sea level to 7,258 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,299 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Cheadle in Staffordshire, England. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its second descent, starting overhead Cheadle in Staffordshire, England. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 7,258 feet above sea level to 2,270 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,988 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Rugeley in Staffordshire, England. This cruise phase lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 15 at Birmingham International Airport (EGBB), approaching from the northwest. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 15 at EGBB was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 123 knots and a distance of 452 meters. The touchdown rate was smooth at -130 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 17 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,798 meters, which accounted for 78% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then began taxiing to the parking, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 241 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 833 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 15 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport, achieving a score of 93.3%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 146.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was characterized by a good threshold speed of 122 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. However, the touchdown speed of 123 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown distance of 452 meters was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 180°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 17 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot was able to maintain a smooth touchdown rate of -130 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a high degree of skill and control.
The total landing distance of 1,798 meters was 78% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's movement after touchdown and had brought it to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high degree of skill and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and flare technique to achieve a smoother touchdown.
