Work on the flare
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 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 531 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 29 at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport. The takeoff distance was 780 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -8°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 290°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb overhead Wlochy in the Masovian Voivodeship, Poland. The climb took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 160 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 1,327 feet above sea level to 37,495 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,167 feet.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles west of Zmigrod in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland, and lasted for 55 minutes, covering a distance of 401 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead Kordel in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. The descent took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 170 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 37,997 feet above sea level to 1,675 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,322 feet.
The final approach to runway 27R at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,320 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27R, which had a length of 2,692 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 132 knots.
The touchdown point was 111 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 123 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -160 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 240°.
The total landing distance was 970 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft took 3 minutes to taxi to the parking from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 739 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 115 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,055 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport on runway 27R. The final approach was executed from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,320 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 132 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing speed. However, the touchdown speed of 123 knots was a little fast, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum at the time of touchdown. The touchdown rate of -160 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is essential for a safe landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were favorable for a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 970 meters was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance, showcasing the pilot's skill and control. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, with a score of 98.6%. The slight deviations from the ideal landing speed and touchdown speed were minor and did not compromise the safety of the aircraft or its occupants.
