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 1,744 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,744 m of the 2,883 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 599 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 05 at Houari Boumediene Airport (DAAG) in Algeria. The takeoff distance was 1,454 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 79°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of Dar el Beida, Algeria, and reached an altitude of 34,545 feet above sea level (asl) after an increase of 33,459 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 46 miles southeast of La Savina, Spain, and lasted for 31 minutes, covering a distance of 214 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 34,658 feet asl to 37,929 feet asl, an increase of 3,271 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes, with a level cruise phase starting 8 miles north of Olius, Spain, and lasting for 36 minutes, covering a distance of 256 nautical miles. The aircraft then began a descent phase, which started 1 mile south of Sillars, France, and descended from 37,864 feet asl to 26,259 feet asl, a decrease of 11,605 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to descend and cruise at various altitudes, with a level cruise phase starting overhead Chambourg-sur-Indre, France, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent phase, which started 2 miles north of Civray-de-Touraine, France, and descended from 26,170 feet asl to 11,065 feet asl, a decrease of 15,104 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 60 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southwest of Allonnes, France, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles. The aircraft then began a final descent phase, which started overhead Leudeville, France, and descended from 11,039 feet asl to 1,568 feet asl, a decrease of 9,471 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at Paris-Orly Airport (LFPO) was made from the east, with a heading of 254.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on runway 25, which had a length of 2,883 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 147 knots.
The touchdown point was 185 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 140 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -84 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 225°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,666
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The final approach to runway 25 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 254.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 147 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 185 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force to bring the aircraft to a stop. Fortunately, the touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -84 feet per minute, which suggests that the pilots were able to smoothly transition from the landing phase to the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots from 225°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable. The runway length of 2,883 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,666 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft and smoothly transition from the landing phase to the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
