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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,739 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 545 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 20, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,111-meter stretch of the runway that it occupied, with a takeoff distance of 44% of the runway's total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 knots, overcoming the local headwind of 9 knots and a crosswind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Barcelona, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 1,015 feet above sea level to 32,636 feet, a vertical gain of 31,621 feet over a distance of 196 nautical miles, achieved in 26 minutes. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which began 57 miles south of Mazargues, France, and lasted for 49 minutes, covering a distance of 443 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its enroute descent, starting 3 miles southwest of Oberdrauburg, Austria, and descending from 32,978 feet to 2,447 feet, a decrease of 30,531 feet over a distance of 127 nautical miles, achieved in 18 minutes. The final approach to runway 16C at LOWG Graz Airport was initiated from the north, with the aircraft aligning perfectly with the runway and touching down at a speed of 121 knots, with a smooth touchdown rate of -138 feet per minute.
The landing distance of 1,020 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway's total length, was well within the acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 772 nautical miles was achieved in 100 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 5,379 kilograms of fuel. The local weather conditions at the time of landing, with a temperature of 15°C and a headwind of 4 knots, contributed to a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 16C at LOWG Graz Airport with a high degree of precision, showcasing the crew's exceptional approach and landing skills. The aircraft descended from 1,334 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning itself with the runway heading of 169.0 degrees. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 133 knots, well within the acceptable range.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down 121 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 121 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -138 feet per minute, indicating a well-controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 4 knots, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The Boeing 737-800 rolled out on the runway with perfect alignment, covering a total distance of 1,020 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. The crew's ability to maintain control and precision throughout the rollout phase was evident, as the aircraft remained centered on the runway. Overall, the landing was scored at 98.9%, a testament to the crew's exceptional skills and the aircraft's performance.
