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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,954 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,954 m of the 2,722 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 833 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 at Dublin Airport, which took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 10R at EIDW Dublin Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,682 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 19 knots coming from a direction of 350 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 18 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Ballymun in Leinster, Ireland. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,183 feet above sea level to 30,830 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,647 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north of Rhyl in Denbighshire, Wales, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 31,207 feet above sea level to 32,485 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,278 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started overhead Gresford in Wrexham, Wales, and lasted for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 216 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 14 miles northwest of Fort-Mardyck in Hauts-de-France, France. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 33,427 feet above sea level to 2,658 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,769 feet, in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 88 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started overhead Deurne in Flanders, Belgium, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 19 at EBBR Brussels Airport was made from the north, heading 193.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,146 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 19 was successful, with a touchdown point 415 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -8 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots coming from a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,870 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 450 nautical miles, taking a total of 84 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,572 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 19, achieving a score of 92.0%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 193.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,146 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 143 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 415 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 127 knots. This speed was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -8 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 120°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft, ensuring a safe and controlled landing.
The total landing distance was 1,870 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway length. While this was a relatively long landing distance, it was still within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
