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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,998 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,218 ft 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 29 at LOWW Vienna International Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,644 feet, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 228 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of LOWW Vienna International Airport and ascending from an altitude of 1,640 feet above sea level to 36,781 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,141 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 133 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southeast of Volenice in the Czech Republic and lasted for 38 minutes, covering a distance of 274 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began overhead Telgte in Germany, with the aircraft descending from 37,065 feet above sea level to 1,272 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,793 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 267.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 27 was successful, with the touchdown distance being 1,221 feet, which was 33% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -290 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 170 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 3,670 feet, and the taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 523 nautical miles, taking 96 minutes, and the aircraft used 8,770 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 267.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's final approach to runway 27 was executed with precision, achieving a score of 98.7%. This indicates that the pilot adhered to standard operating procedures and maintained control of the aircraft throughout the approach. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 137 knots was also within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 1,221 feet and a touchdown speed of 126 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -290 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent to reduce the impact on the aircraft's landing gear.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 30°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 170°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 3,670 feet was 33% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control to maintain a stable approach and landing.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the Boeing 737-800's landing at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was a successful operation, showcasing the pilot's expertise and adherence to standard operating procedures.
