Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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 1,577 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,577 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 493 m touchdown sits inside 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 24 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 1,025 meters, which is 32% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 3°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Aalsmeerderbrug in the Netherlands. The climb took 17 minutes and covered 107 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,047 feet above sea level to 34,012 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles northwest of Recke in Germany. This cruise lasted 11 minutes and covered 91 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles south of Eicklingen in Germany. The descent took 20 minutes and covered 128 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 33,744 feet to 7,798 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile south of Werneuchen in Germany. This cruise lasted only 2 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles southeast of Altlandsberg in Germany. The descent took 7 minutes and covered 11 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 7,357 feet to 1,423 feet.
The final approach to runway 24L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 249.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,259 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 24L, which has a length of 3,986 meters. The threshold height at 64 feet above ground level was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 136 knots.
The touchdown point was 57 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 129 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -343 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -1°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,476 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 349 nautical miles, and the flight took 70 minutes. The aircraft used 2,653 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport on runway 24L, achieving a score of 92.9%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 249.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a threshold height above the target at 64 feet agl, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing configuration.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 136 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, suggesting that the pilot may have applied a bit more braking force than necessary. The touchdown rate of -343 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent and a smooth landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,476 meters was 37% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and ensured a smooth transition from the landing to the taxi phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating a high level of proficiency in landing operations.
