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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,352 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 770 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 15 at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport in Warsaw, Poland. The takeoff distance was 711 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -6°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 150°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport. The climb took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 177 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,295 feet above sea level to 35,994 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,700 feet. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 2 miles south west of Grodzisk Wielkopolski, Poland, and lasted for 40 minutes, covering a distance of 285 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 1 mile south east of Preussisch Oldendorf, Germany, and took 22 minutes to complete, during which the aircraft descended from 36,014 feet above sea level to 2,003 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,011 feet. The descent covered a distance of 125 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise, which started overhead Muiderberg, Netherlands, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the east, heading 267.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27, which had a length of 3,352 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 137 knots. The touchdown point was 349 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 117 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -196 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 230°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,210 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 601 nautical miles, and the flight took 96 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 4,550 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 92.9%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 267.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 349 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the optimal area. However, the touchdown speed of 117 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to make adjustments to reduce the speed during the approach. The touchdown rate of -196 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 230°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,210 meters was 36% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot achieving a good score despite a few minor deviations from the optimal approach and landing parameters.
