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 6,197 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,197 ft of the 9,778 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,859 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT) took approximately 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 36C, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 162 knots. The takeoff distance of 6,208 feet represented 62% of the available runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 61°F and a light wind of 3 knots from a direction of 279°.
Following a smooth departure, the aircraft initiated its enroute climb approximately 1 mile north of KCLT, rising from an initial altitude of 1,661 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 35,853 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 154 nautical miles. The climb profile was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with a total ascent of 34,192 feet. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 44 minutes and covered a distance of 313 nautical miles, approximately 4 miles southwest of Danielsville, Georgia. The cruise phase was followed by a descent, initiated 5 miles west of Saraland, Alabama, during which the aircraft descended from 36,019 feet to 1,921 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 11 at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (KMSY) was initiated from the west, with the aircraft flying at an altitude of 1,204 feet above ground level and a heading of 105.0°. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target value of 146 knots, and the touchdown point was located 1,504 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of 14 feet per minute was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance of 5,942 feet represented 61% of the available runway length. Following a short taxiing period of 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 608 nautical miles and consuming 10,686 pounds of fuel in the process, with a total flight time of 106 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 11 at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 146 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed. The touchdown point was 1,504 ft beyond the touchdown zone, suggesting a slightly long touchdown.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed of 134 kt, the touchdown rate of 14 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the touchdown phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 73 °F and a 6 kt headwind, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 5,942 ft was 61% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 95.1%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
