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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,859 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,859 m of the 3,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 691 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 18 at EVRA Riga International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,013 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -12°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile south of EVRA Riga International Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,004 feet above sea level to 5,973 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles southwest of Kekava, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 3 miles southeast of Kekava, increasing its altitude from 5,987 feet above sea level to 24,996 feet above sea level in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 70 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles northwest of Ainazi, lasting 2 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 10 miles north of Treimani, Estonia, descending from 24,999 feet above sea level to 1,451 feet above sea level in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08 at EETN Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 91.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,311 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 08 was successful, with a touchdown point 270 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was a little fast, while the touchdown rate was fair at -285 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 -14°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,773 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 193 nautical miles, taking 43 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,044 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EETN Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport, achieving a score of 94.3%. The final approach to runway 08 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 91.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,311 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 145 knots. However, the touchdown point was located 270 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft could have been aligned slightly better during the approach. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.
The touchdown rate of -285 feet per minute was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -14°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 knots, which was relatively minimal.
The total landing distance of 1,773 meters was 55% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and alignment during the approach and landing phases.
