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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,826 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,826 m of the 2,722 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 896 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 10R at Dublin Airport (EIDW). The takeoff distance was 1,295 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 99 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Darndale in Leinster, Ireland. The climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 77 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,168 feet above sea level to 32,209 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,041 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southeast of Beaumaris in Anglesey, Wales. This phase lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 196 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Wrotham in Kent, England. The descent took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 41 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 32,652 feet above sea level to 27,388 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,263 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles north of Deal in Kent, England. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 51 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Pervijze in Flanders, Belgium. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 68 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 26,935 feet above sea level to 2,147 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,788 feet.
The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, which started overhead Gouy-lez-Pieton in Wallonia, Belgium. This phase lasted for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 01 at Brussels Airport (EBBR), approaching from the south at a heading of 15.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,312 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 01 at Brussels Airport was successful, with a touchdown point located 484 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 143 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 140 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -352 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.3 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 339 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,750 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 10.9 meters.
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 462 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 91 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,545 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 01, achieving an overall score of 88.9%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 15.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,312 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,722 meters, with a good threshold height.
The threshold speed was maintained at 140 knots, which is considered optimal for a safe landing. However, the touchdown point was located 484 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have contributed to the slightly firm touchdown rate of -352 feet per minute (fpm).
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 339°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a stable approach and landed safely on the runway.
The total landing distance was 1,750 meters, which accounts for 64% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centerline, which may require further attention to ensure that the aircraft is properly aligned with the runway during future landings.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there are some areas for improvement, including maintaining a slower touchdown speed and ensuring proper alignment with the runway during rollout.
