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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five 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 2,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 728 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, FWB Norwegian LN-DYD, then departed from runway 33 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,520 meters, which is 47% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Norderstedt, Germany. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,090 feet above sea level to 6,608 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,518 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Prisdorf, Germany, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 6,608 feet above sea level to 38,001 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,393 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 2 miles southeast of Nordby, Denmark, and lasted for 29 minutes, covering a distance of 218 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles east of Oltedal, Norway. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 38,001 feet above sea level to 1,458 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,543 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 17 at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland, was made from the north, heading 171.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,292 feet above ground level.
The landing was made on runway 17, which has a length of 2,441 meters. The threshold height at 60 feet above ground level was above the target, and the threshold speed was 130 knots. The touchdown point was 311 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 124 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -298 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 15°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,344 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 443 nautical miles, taking a total of 84 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,817 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, FWB Norwegian LN-DYD, successfully landed at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland, with a score of 91.3%. The final approach to runway 17 was initiated from the north, heading 171.0° at an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft's approach was characterized by a very good runway touchdown alignment, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach path. The threshold height at 60 feet agl was above the target, suggesting that the aircraft was slightly high on final approach. However, this did not seem to affect the overall landing performance.
The touchdown speed of 124 knots was slightly below the target threshold speed of 130 knots, which is a good indication of the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown rate of -298 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft touched down with a moderate amount of deceleration.
The touchdown point was 311 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. However, this can be attributed to the aircraft's high speed and the pilot's decision to extend the landing distance to ensure a safe touchdown. The total landing distance of 1,344 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, and the headwind component was zero. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a very good runway rollout alignment and a moderate touchdown rate. The pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed was evident, and the landing distance was reasonable considering the aircraft's size and weight.
