Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 145 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 164 kt, 19 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 145 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,537 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,537 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 643 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 29 at LRTR Timişoara Traian Vuia Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,011 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 3°C, a wind speed of 5 knots at 110°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south of Giarmata, in Timis, Romania. The climb took 20 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,371 feet above sea level to 35,411 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,040 feet. The distance covered during this period was 118 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile northeast of Eloszallas, in Fejer megye, Hungary, and lasted for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 170 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile east of Randegg, in Niederoesterreich, Austria, and took 25 minutes to descend from 35,620 feet above sea level to 5,229 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,391 feet. The distance covered during this period was 147 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time overhead Bergkirchen, in Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final descent started overhead Fahrenzhausen, in Bavaria, Germany, and took 3 minutes to descend from 4,469 feet above sea level to 2,752 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,716 feet. The distance covered during this period was 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 08L at EDDM Munich Airport, coming in from the west at a heading of 84.0° and at an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 08L at EDDM Munich Airport was characterized by a threshold height that was significantly above the target, but a threshold speed that was good at 121 knots. The touchdown point was 223 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 118 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -300 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -4°C, a wind speed of 6 knots at 40°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,449 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 31.5 meters from the centreline. 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 456 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 88 minutes. The aircraft used 3,624 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 08L at EDDM Munich Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 84.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's speed during the final approach was good, with a threshold speed of 121 knots.
However, the threshold height at 91 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the approach. The touchdown point was 223 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the aircraft may have touched down slightly too far down the runway. The touchdown speed of 118 knots was also a little fast, which could have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.
The touchdown rate of -300 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating that the aircraft's descent was relatively smooth. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline, which could have made the landing more challenging for the pilots.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of -4°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 40°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 4 knots, which suggests that the wind was relatively light and not a significant factor in the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,449 meters was 36% of the runway length, which is relatively long. The runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 31.5 meters from the centerline, which could have made the landing more challenging for the pilots and may have contributed to the longer landing distance.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The pilots may have been able to improve the landing by making adjustments to their approach and touchdown speeds, as well as their alignment with the runway centerline.
