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.
At the 1,000 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 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 647 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 33 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport. The takeoff distance was 749 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 140 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 259°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EGBB Birmingham International Airport. The climb took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 58 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,348 feet above sea level to 26,585 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,237 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 2 miles northwest of Wheatley, Oxfordshire, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 27 miles southeast of Eastbourne, East Sussex, and took 20 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 134 nautical miles. During this period, the aircraft descended from 26,673 feet above sea level to 1,691 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,983 feet. The final approach to runway 27R at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport was made from the east, heading 265.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,313 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27R was successful, with the touchdown point being 225 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 118 knots, which was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate was fair at -247 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 240°.
The total landing distance was 1,049 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 305 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 47 minutes. The aircraft used 2,682 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport on runway 27R, achieving a score of 92.8%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,313 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being slightly above the target at 56 feet agl. The threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 127 knots. The touchdown point was located 225 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 118 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -247 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions did not significantly impact the landing, and the aircraft maintained a very good runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance was 1,049 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 92.8%. The slight deviations from the target threshold height and speed, as well as the touchdown point being beyond the designated zone, were minor issues that did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
