Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 116 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 215 fpm.
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 1,733 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,733 m of the 3,082 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 18 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 34L at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,391 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 80 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Rome, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 97 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,043 feet above sea level to 37,004 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,961 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 4 miles southwest of LIQX Aviosuperficie La Filanda Pergine Valdarno, and it lasted for 179 minutes, covering a distance of 440 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started overhead Senheim, Germany, and it took 26 minutes to descend from 36,615 feet above sea level to 1,441 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,174 feet. The descent covered a distance of 111 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport was made from the east, heading 250.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,288 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 25L was successful, with a touchdown point 273 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -126 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 240 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,650 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 660 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 141 minutes. The aircraft used 5,248 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 25L, achieving a high score of 97.4%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 137 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown point was located 273 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this was still considered a good result given the aircraft's speed and control at the time of touchdown. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -126 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled and stable descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 11 knots, which the pilots effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,650 meters was 54% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
