Work on the flare
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,528 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,528 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,323 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 28R at Dublin Airport (EIDW), with a takeoff distance of 1,527 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 59°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Dublin Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,239 feet above sea level to 36,108 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,869 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles north of Talacre, Wales, and lasted for 118 minutes, covering a distance of 887 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 5 miles north of Velika Kladusa, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and climbed from 37,116 feet above sea level to 38,404 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,288 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles northeast of Varoska Rijeka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and lasted for 81 minutes, covering a distance of 645 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles northeast of Kemalpasa, Turkey, and descended from 38,908 feet above sea level to 864 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,044 feet, in 28 minutes and covering a distance of 126 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01 at Dalaman International Airport (LTBS) was made from the south, with a heading of 14.0° at an altitude of 844 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 01, which had a length of 3,006 meters. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 knots.
The touchdown point was 907 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -227 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 360°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,447 meters, which was 81% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,788 nautical miles, taking a total of 259 minutes, and the aircraft used 8,691 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at LTBS Dalaman International Airport, achieving an overall score of 80.0%. The final approach to runway 01 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 14.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 844 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 01, which has a length of 3,006 meters. The threshold height at 72 feet agl was found to be well above the target, indicating a safe margin for the aircraft to touch down. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 knots, which may require some adjustments in the approach procedure.
The touchdown point was located 907 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. Nevertheless, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -227 feet per minute (fpm) was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.5 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the alignment of the aircraft during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 360°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The total landing distance of 2,447 meters was 81% of the runway length, indicating a relatively long landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the alignment of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there are some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of the threshold speed and the alignment of the aircraft during the approach and rollout phases.
