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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 523 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 19R at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport in Stockholm, Sweden. The takeoff distance was 831 meters, which was 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 131 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -7°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 250°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 100 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,189 feet above sea level to 30,101 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,912 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles south of Bjoersaeter in Oestergoetland County, Sweden. This phase of the flight lasted for 71 minutes and covered a distance of 295 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile southwest of Harmsdorf in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 43 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 30,307 feet above sea level to 1,326 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,981 feet.
The final approach to runway 15 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 153.0° at an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 15, which had a length of 3,216 meters. The threshold height at 57 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 115 knots.
The touchdown point was 91 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 102 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -126 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -2°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 220°.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 447 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 117 minutes. The aircraft used 2,906 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 153.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 15, which has a length of 3,216 meters. The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was satisfactory at 115 knots. The touchdown point was located 91 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown speed of 102 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -126 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 220°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,154 meters was 36% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling characteristics.
