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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,553 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,553 m of the 2,447 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 691 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 23L at Düsseldorf Airport, EDDL, with a takeoff distance of 1,065 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Düsseldorf Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 6,063 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This climb started overhead Düsseldorf Airport and ended overhead Kaarst, a nearby town in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. This cruise phase was followed by another climb, which started overhead Kaarst and ended overhead EDJF Wanlo Airfield Erkelenz, a small airfield in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from 5,903 feet to 10,505 feet above sea level in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. This cruise phase was followed by another climb, which started 2 miles east of Pulheim, a town in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, and ended at an altitude of 14,995 feet above sea level. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from 10,516 feet to 14,995 feet above sea level in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 20 nautical miles. This cruise phase was followed by another climb, which started 1 mile south west of Hueckeswagen, a town in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, and ended at an altitude of 26,489 feet above sea level. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from 15,007 feet to 26,489 feet above sea level in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent, starting 1 mile north east of EDLZ Soest-Bad Sassendorf Airfield Bad Sassendorf, a small airfield in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. During this descent, the aircraft descended from 26,488 feet to 19,011 feet above sea level in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. This cruise phase was followed by another climb, which started 2 miles south east of Winterberg, a town in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, and ended at an altitude of 21,498 feet above sea level. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from 19,373 feet to 21,498 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile south east of Brilon, a town in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. During this descent, the aircraft descended from 21,491 feet to 3,011 feet above sea level in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 60 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 18 minutes and covering 57 nautical miles. This cruise phase was followed by another descent, starting 2 miles north west of Much, a town in
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 24 at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 244.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 274 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 116 knots was slightly above the target speed, which could have contributed to the firm touchdown rate of -317 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 11.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind was minimal at 1 knot. These conditions should have allowed for a relatively smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,471 meters was 60% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 22.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the landing roll or a failure to maintain alignment during the rollout.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement in terms of touchdown speed, touchdown point accuracy, and runway alignment during the rollout. These issues can be addressed through further training and practice to ensure safer and more precise landings in the future.
