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 7,094 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 7,094 ft of the 9,337 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,373 ft 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 26L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,626 feet, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 320 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead College Park, Georgia. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,043 feet above sea level to 30,309 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,266 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 76 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 3 miles south east of Southside, Alabama. This cruise phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 100 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles north east of Hamilton, Alabama. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 30,303 feet above sea level to 21,313 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,990 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 37 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south east of Baldwyn, Mississippi. This cruise phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile south east of Blue Mountain, Mississippi. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 21,331 feet above sea level to 1,563 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,768 feet, in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 52 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Memphis International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 36L from the south, heading 359.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 53 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 56 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 36L, which had a length of 9,337 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 151 knots. The touchdown point was 1,025 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 142 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -160 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 6,846 feet, which accounted for 73% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After 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 294 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 71 minutes. The aircraft used 6,450 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KMEM Memphis International Airport, achieving a score of 95.2%. The final approach to runway 36L was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 359.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 151 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed. The touchdown point was located 1,025 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance.
The touchdown speed of 142 kt was a bit faster than the ideal speed, but the touchdown rate of -160 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in navigating the aircraft to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 53°F and a wind speed of 4 kt at 56°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 kt, while the headwind component was 2 kt. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable landing.
The total landing distance of 6,846 feet was 73% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
