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 1,617 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,617 m of the 2,722 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 791 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 08 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,181 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 70 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Innsbruck in the Austrian state of Tirol. The climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 51 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,906 feet above sea level to 34,327 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Germering in the German state of Bavaria. This phase lasted for 26 minutes and covered a distance of 166 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, which started 1 mile southwest of Reichelsheim in the German state of Hessen. The descent took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 61 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 33,850 feet to 10,076 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Linz am Rhein in the German state of Rheinland-Pfalz. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 77 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its second descent, which started overhead Nieuwerkerken in the Belgian region of Flanders. The descent took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 34 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 9,835 feet to 2,120 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Mellet in the Belgian region of Wallonia. This phase lasted for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 01 at EBBR Brussels Airport, which was located to the south. The aircraft was heading at an angle of 14.0 degrees and was 4 nautical miles away from the airport at an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 01 at EBBR Brussels Airport, which had a length of 2,722 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots at a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The touchdown point was 377 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -309 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,539 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 416 nautical miles, and the flight took 85 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,049 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 01, achieving a score of 91.6%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 14.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was recorded at 138 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly faster than desired, suggesting that the pilot may have applied a bit more flare than necessary. The touchdown rate of -309 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a stable approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 15 knots and a headwind component of 4 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,539 meters was 57% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
