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 1,794 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,794 m of the 2,794 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 750 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 09 at EDLV Weeze Airport. The takeoff distance was 422 meters, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 169 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Weeze, and climbed from an altitude of 1,127 feet above sea level to 36,383 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,257 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 124 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Bettembourg, in the Canton d'Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg, and lasted for 82 minutes, covering a distance of 594 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles southeast of Pollenca, in the Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears, Spain. The descent from 36,483 feet above sea level to 1,311 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,172 feet, took 29 minutes and covered a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at LEIB Ibiza Airport was made from the southwest, heading 62.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 06 was made at a speed of 152 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown point was 335 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 143 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -125 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.6 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 10 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,715 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway.
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 828 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 146 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,772 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LEIB Ibiza Airport, but with some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 62.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 06, which has a length of 2,794 meters.
The threshold height at 66 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 152 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was moving at a slightly faster pace than intended when reaching the threshold. Despite these minor deviations, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -125 feet per minute (fpm).
The touchdown point was 335 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal landing spot. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.6 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft did not land directly on the center of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 10°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,715 meters, which accounts for 61% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.0 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the aircraft did not maintain a perfectly straight path during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft was able to safely touch down on the runway and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, the deviations from the ideal landing parameters highlight the importance of precise control and adherence to standard operating procedures during the landing phase.
