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: five 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 6,283 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,283 ft of the 8,051 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,770 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 30 at the L.F. Wade International Airport in Bermuda. The takeoff distance was 4,358 feet, which was 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 87 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 3 knots at 20 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started approximately 1 mile southwest of Saint George, Bermuda. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,020 feet above sea level to 33,973 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,953 feet, in 25 minutes and covering a distance of 156 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started at a latitude of 34.5000596 and a longitude of -66.5336059, and lasted for 56 minutes, covering a distance of 408 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent approximately 69 miles southeast of Westhampton Beach, New York. The descent from 33,746 feet above sea level to 1,308 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,438 feet, took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13L at John F. Kennedy International Airport was made from the northwest, heading 121.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 13L was successful, with the touchdown point being 1,414 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 138 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was firm at -319 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 81 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 5 knots at 120 degrees. The crosswind was 0 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 6,027 feet, which was 75% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking from the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 676 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 126 minutes. The aircraft used 11,949 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 13L at John F Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) with a score of 91.6%. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 121.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being slightly above the target at 56 feet agl. The threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 148 knots. The touchdown point was located 1,414 feet beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly down the runway. The touchdown speed of 138 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -319 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 81°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from 120°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a 5-knot headwind, which likely contributed to the firm touchdown rate. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The total landing distance of 6,027 feet was 75% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the target parameters. The touchdown speed was a little fast, and the touchdown point was located beyond the touchdown zone. However, the firm touchdown rate and perfect runway alignment suggest that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing.
