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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,583 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 369 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-800 began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway at PASN St Paul Island, taking only 1 minute to cover less than 1 nm. The departure roll on the runway 36 involved a takeoff distance of 931 m, which was 47% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, with the local weather showing a temperature of 3°C and a light wind of 2 knots at 319°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot during takeoff.
The enroute climb started over St Paul Island and ascended from 1,121 ft above sea level to 40,154 ft, covering a total distance of 301 nm in 41 minutes. The aircraft then entered into a level cruise phase for 125 minutes, starting 6 miles northwest of Tuntutuliak and covering 1,425 nm. The descent phase began 9 miles west of CDK2 Diavik in the Northwest Territories, descending from 39,917 ft to 3,291 ft over a period of 10 minutes and covering a distance of 19 nm.
The landing took place on runway 28 at CDK2 Diavik, which had a length of 1,583 m. The aircraft approached the runway with a height of 13 ft above ground level and a speed of 132 knots. The touchdown occurred 369 m from the threshold at a speed of 123 knots, with a vertical speed indicator reading of -278 ft per minute. The local weather at the time of landing showed a temperature of -9°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots coming from 272°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance required was 804 m, which was 51% of the total runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area, covering a very short distance in less than 1 minute. The total flight distance for the journey was 1,758 nm, with a total duration of 185 minutes. The flight consumed 10,553 kg of fuel during its operation.
