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.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,082 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 671 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Fokker F28, then departed from runway 28 at Zürich Airport (LSZH) and took off with a takeoff distance of 876 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 11°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 260°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Rumlang, Kanton Zurich, Switzerland, where the aircraft climbed from 2,454 feet above sea level to 20,887 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,432 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Schlossrued, Kanton Aargau, Switzerland, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 59 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 21,251 feet above sea level to 20,571 feet above sea level, a decrease of 680 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise, which started 1 mile east of Noroy-le-Bourg, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 20,324 feet above sea level to 27,554 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,230 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 2 miles east of Fayl-Billot, Grand Est, France, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 26,788 feet above sea level to 10,662 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,127 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 70 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile west of Eijsden, Provincie Limburg, The Netherlands, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 10,263 feet above sea level to 1,051 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,212 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25L at Brussels Airport (EBBR) was made from the east, heading 252.0° at 4 nautical miles and 902 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 25L, which had a length of 3,082 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 133 knots.
The touchdown point was 241 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 99 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -242 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions were 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 12°.
The total landing distance was 1,224 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 352 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 76 minutes. The
The Fokker F28 aircraft successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 25L, achieving a score of 89.2%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 252.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 902 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 3,082 meters.
The threshold height at 61 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed of 133 knots was well above the target, suggesting that the aircraft was descending at a suitable rate to ensure a safe landing. The touchdown point was 241 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 99 knots was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down at a suitable speed to maintain control and stability. However, the touchdown rate of -242 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher rate of descent than desired. This could be due to various factors, including the aircraft's configuration, the pilot's technique, or the wind conditions.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or tailwind conditions. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 14°C, a wind speed of 3 knots at 12°, and a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,224 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance, despite the minor deviations in the landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and a short landing distance. However, there were some minor deviations in the landing, including the threshold height and touchdown rate, which may require further attention and improvement.
