Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 111 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 273 fpm.
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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,026 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 704 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 27L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris, France. The takeoff distance was 873 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 143 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 290 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from 1,301 feet above sea level to 38,470 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,170 feet in 31 minutes and covering a distance of 227 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 1 mile south of Hollnich, Germany, and lasted for 45 minutes, covering a distance of 368 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles southwest of Gorzyce, Poland, and took the aircraft from 38,746 feet above sea level to 2,977 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,769 feet in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 174 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started overhead EPKU Konstancin-Jeziorna Airfield in Poland and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Pilawa, Poland, and took the aircraft from 2,992 feet above sea level to 1,655 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,337 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33 at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 332.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,292 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 33, which had a length of 3,026 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 131 knots.
The touchdown point was 280 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 120 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -219 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, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 280 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,152 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 787 nautical miles, and the flight took 111 minutes, using 4,921 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport, with a final approach from the south east, heading 332.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,292 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on runway 33, which has a length of 3,026 meters.
The landing performance was satisfactory, with the threshold height being slightly above the target at 55 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 131 knots. The touchdown point was 280 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -219 feet per minute was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were quite cold, with a temperature of -9°C. The wind was minimal, with a speed of 2 knots from 280°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,152 meters, which is 38% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, showing that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-600 aircraft at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the target values. However, the aircraft was able to touch down safely and come to a stop within a reasonable distance, indicating a successful landing.
