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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,462 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,817 ft 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, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 18L at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 3,310 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30 °F, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 150°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was also 1 knot. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The climb took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 165 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,034 feet above sea level to 37,781 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,747 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 36 minutes and covered a distance of 261 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place 1 mile north-east of Sinn, Germany. Following the cruise, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile east of Rimov, Czech Republic. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 97 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 38,183 feet above sea level to 1,855 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,327 feet.
The final approach to runway 29 at LOWW Vienna International Airport was made from the south-east, with the aircraft heading 296.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,256 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 29, which had a length of 11,462 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 138 knots. The touchdown point was 436 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 122 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -218 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 °F, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 131°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 4,430 feet, which accounted for 39% of the runway.
The final phase of the flight involved taxiing to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 531 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 98 minutes. The aircraft used 8,968 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) on runway 29. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 296.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, with a threshold height that was considered good.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 122 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 436 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed was considered good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
The touchdown rate of -218 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed fair, indicating that the aircraft touched down with a moderate amount of force. Nevertheless, 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 26°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 131°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the aircraft demonstrated a high level of control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance was recorded at 4,430 feet, which accounted for 39% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed a smooth and controlled approach. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned path during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its landing at Vienna International Airport, with a score of 97.9%. The pilot's ability to maintain control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases was evident, and the aircraft's performance was consistent with the expected standards for a commercial airliner.
