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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,307 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,307 ft of the 11,462 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,893 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 16 at LGMK Mykonos Island National Airport, a small airport located on the Greek island of Mykonos. The takeoff distance was 3,184 feet, which accounted for 51% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 151 knots, with a local temperature of 61°F and a gentle headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed out of Mykonos, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south of the airport. The climb took 20 minutes to reach an altitude of 35,784 feet, an increase of 34,617 feet from the initial altitude of 1,167 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 104 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 3 miles east of Psachna, a town in Central Greece. This cruise phase lasted for 76 minutes and covered a distance of 561 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began overhead Alsonemedi, a town in Hungary, where the aircraft started its descent from 36,040 feet to 7,257 feet, a decrease of 28,782 feet in 27 minutes. The descent covered a distance of 135 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time overhead Pressbaum, a town in Austria, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles. The descent phase continued with a series of short descents, each lasting a few minutes, as the aircraft approached its destination.
The final approach to runway 11 at LOWW Vienna International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 116.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,292 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway length of 11,462 feet, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots, but the touchdown speed of 134 knots was a little fast. The touchdown point was 540 feet beyond the touchdown zone, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 5,054 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 834 nautical miles, which was covered in 145 minutes, and the aircraft used 13,248 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at the Vienna International Airport (LOWW) on runway 11. The final approach was made from the west, with a heading of 116.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which is 11,462 feet in length, with a good threshold height.
The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the desired speed. The touchdown point was 540 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was a bit fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -116 feet per minute, suggesting that the aircraft had landed without any significant impact on the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 43°F and no wind. The wind speed was 0 knots at 359°, indicating that there was no crosswind or headwind. This lack of wind made the landing even smoother, and the aircraft was able to land at a very good runway alignment.
The total landing distance was 5,054 feet, which is 44% of the runway length. This distance indicates that the aircraft was able to land safely and efficiently, with minimal use of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent during the landing process.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at the Vienna International Airport was successful, with a high score of 97.5%. The aircraft demonstrated its ability to land safely and efficiently in a variety of conditions, and the pilots were able to execute the landing with precision and control.
