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 1,861 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,861 m of the 3,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 680 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 7 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 1,632 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 317 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 1 knot was present. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of LOWW Vienna International Airport and climbing from an altitude of 1,624 feet above sea level to 36,641 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,018 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Dolni Bukovsko in the Czech Republic. This phase lasted for 38 minutes and covered a distance of 274 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile east of Delbrueck in Germany. The descent took 33 minutes and covered a distance of 149 nautical miles, during which the aircraft decreased its altitude from 37,455 feet above sea level to 1,283 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the southwest, with a heading of 58.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 06, which had a length of 3,191 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 153 knots.
The touchdown point was 266 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 143 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -157 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect after the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 60 degrees. There was a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 15 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,782 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 530 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 103 minutes. The aircraft used 3,834 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 96.4%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the south-west, with a heading of 58.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed that was well above the target at 153 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown point was located 266 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting of the target.
The landing distance of 1,782 meters was 56% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The touchdown rate of -157 feet per minute was considered good, suggesting a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 60°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 15 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a perfect runway rollout alignment and a controlled descent. However, the slightly faster touchdown speed and over-shooting of the touchdown zone may indicate areas for improvement in the pilot's technique.
