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.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,580 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 712 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from LOWG Graz 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 16C, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 975 meters, or 36% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 148 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a gentle tailwind of 7 knots and a crosswind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent from 2,073 feet above sea level, eventually reaching a cruising altitude of 37,974 feet. This climb phase, which started approximately 1 mile north of Zettling, Austria, covered a distance of 296 nautical miles and took 40 minutes to complete. Following a brief level cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent from 37,999 feet, reducing its altitude to 2,277 feet in 24 minutes and covering 138 nautical miles. The final approach to EGNX East Midlands Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft aligning itself with runway 27 and touching down at a speed of 126 knots, slightly above the target speed.
The landing distance of 1,146 meters, or 44% of the runway's length, was within acceptable parameters, and the runway touchdown alignment was deemed very good. Following a smooth touchdown, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 779 nautical miles was achieved in 117 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 5,731 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 27 at EGNX East Midlands Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -132 fpm, although the touchdown speed of 126 kt was slightly above the target. The aircraft's approach quality was good, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The threshold speed of 139 kt was also slightly above the target, but not significantly so.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it was found to be very well aligned with the centreline, with a touchdown point located 295 m beyond the touchdown zone. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 5 °C and a gentle headwind of 5 kt, contributed to a stable and controlled approach. The aircraft's performance was further enhanced by the minimal crosswind component of 1 kt.
The Boeing 737-800's rollout was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment with the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,146 m, which accounted for 44% of the runway length, was well within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was scored at 95.8%, reflecting the aircraft's excellent performance and adherence to standard operating procedures.
