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 2,164 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,164 m of the 2,847 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 875 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,524 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 170°. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 2 miles south of Tarnby, Denmark, and ascended from an initial altitude of 1,035 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 35,068 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,033 feet in 17 minutes. The climb covered a distance of 105 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles northeast of Damp, Germany. This phase lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 95 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile south of EDXP Harlesiel Airfield, Germany, and descended from a maximum altitude of 35,265 feet above sea level to an altitude of 1,294 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,971 feet in 29 minutes. The descent covered a distance of 136 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18C at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 183.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,296 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 18C, which had a length of 2,847 meters. The threshold height at 74 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots.
The touchdown point was 441 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 142 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -384 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots at a direction of 150°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,065 meters, which accounted for 73% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 344 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 75 minutes. The aircraft used 2,963 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, but with some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,296 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 18C, which has a length of 2,847 meters.
The threshold height at 74 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was slightly faster than required when reaching the threshold. The touchdown point was 441 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant deviation.
The touchdown speed of 142 knots was a little fast, indicating that the aircraft was not fully slowed down before touching down. The touchdown rate was firm at -384 feet per minute (fpm), which is a relatively high rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, a wind speed of 15 knots at 150°, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
The total landing distance was 2,065 meters, which is 73% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft took some time to come to a stop after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's difficulty in aligning the aircraft with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but with some minor deviations from the ideal parameters. The pilots may need to review their techniques to improve their performance and reduce the deviations from the target values.
