Improve the touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,940 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 388 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Narsarsuaq Airport, Greenland, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 24, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 2,722-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 144 knots. The takeoff distance of 876 meters accounted for 44% of the available runway length, indicating a smooth and efficient departure.
As the aircraft climbed away from Narsarsuaq, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 991 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 40,818 feet. This climb phase, which lasted 41 minutes, covered a distance of 323 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed for 156 minutes as it traversed 1,296 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began overhead Harrietsham, England, where the aircraft descended from 40,999 feet to 2,710 feet in just 19 minutes, covering 139 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase over Gaasbeek, Belgium, the aircraft commenced its final approach to runway 01 at Brussels Airport, executing a smooth touchdown at a speed of 125 knots and a distance of 390 meters. The total landing distance of 888 meters accounted for 33% of the available runway length.
The flight concluded with a taxiing period of approximately 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 1,784 nautical miles was achieved in 227 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 9,370 kilograms of fuel. The local weather conditions at Brussels Airport, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 4 knots, presented a favorable environment for the landing. The aircraft's performance was characterized by a firm touchdown rate of -343 feet per minute and a perfect runway touchdown alignment, indicating a well-executed landing.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down smoothly on runway 01 at EBBR Brussels Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in the landing phase. The aircraft's approach from the south, heading 15.0° at 4 nm and 1,280 ft above ground level, was characterized by good quality, with a stable and controlled descent. The threshold height was well-managed, allowing the crew to maintain a safe margin above the runway surface.
As the aircraft crossed the threshold, the crew maintained a speed of 130 kt, which was slightly above the target value. However, the touchdown distance of 390 m was within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed flare. The touchdown speed of 125 kt was a little fast, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -343 fpm. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable landing environment.
The total landing distance of 888 m, which accounted for 33% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline position throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed to a high standard, with a score of 98.5% reflecting the crew's exceptional skill and attention to detail.
