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.
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 1,679 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,679 m of the 3,486 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 755 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 26 at the Catania-Fontanarossa Airport (LICC) in Catania, Sicily, Italy. The takeoff distance was 996 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 250°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of the airport and ascending from an altitude of 1,078 feet above sea level to 36,655 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,577 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 22 miles northeast of Pantelleria, Sicily, Italy. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 32 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, starting 10 miles southwest of Pantelleria, and ascended from 37,018 feet to 37,573 feet, an increase of 554 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 21 miles southwest of Pantelleria, and lasted for 52 minutes, covering a distance of 321 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent phase, starting 5 miles north of El Kseur, Algeria, and descended from 38,016 feet to 3,285 feet, a decrease of 34,732 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 86 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Sidi Moussa, Algeria, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 05 at the Houari Boumediene Airport (DAAG) in Algiers, Algeria, was made from the southwest, heading 61.0° at an altitude of 1,085 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 05 was successful, with the touchdown point being 344 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -175 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 90°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,604 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 594 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 130 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,463 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Houari Boumediene Airport, with a final approach score of 91.3%. The aircraft was approaching runway 05 from the southwest, heading 61.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,085 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 3,486 meters.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was above the target, indicating a slightly higher than desired approach path. However, the threshold speed was only slightly above the target at 144 knots, suggesting a well-controlled approach. The touchdown point was located 344 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance considering the runway length.
The touchdown speed of 129 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -175 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 90°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which is relatively favorable for landing.
The total landing distance of 1,604 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed well, with the pilot demonstrating good control and attention to detail throughout the approach and landing phases.
