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 1,884 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,884 m of the 3,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 665 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 22 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 30 at LEBB Bilbao Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,175 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 208 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead LEBB Bilbao Airport. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 82 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,124 feet above sea level to 35,182 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,058 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles east of Vielle-Saint-Girons, France. This phase lasted for 57 minutes and covered a distance of 420 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead Drocourt, France. The descent took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 130 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,459 feet above sea level to 1,258 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,201 feet.
The final approach to runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the southwest, with a heading of 59.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,248 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 06, which had a length of 3,191 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 149 knots. However, the touchdown point was 251 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -185 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 60 degrees. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,806 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 640 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 117 minutes. The aircraft used 4,522 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 95.9%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the south-west, with a heading of 59.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,248 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed that was well above the target at 149 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate of -185 feet per minute was considered good, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown point was 251 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.1 meters, which may require some adjustments during the landing roll. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 60°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,806 meters was 57% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll and was able to align the aircraft with the centerline of the runway. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a controlled manner.
