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 1,899 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,899 m of the 3,658 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 672 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 24 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 1,330 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 239°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Aalsmeerderbrug in the Netherlands. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 138 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,032 feet above sea level to 32,403 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Wenden in Germany. This phase lasted for 227 minutes and covered a distance of 1,737 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 9 miles southeast of Z17G Al Qatranah Highway Strip in Jordan. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 43 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 33,269 feet to 3,627 feet.
The final approach to runway 08L at OJAI Queen Alia International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 81.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,242 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway length of 3,658 meters, with a threshold height of 56 feet above ground level, which was slightly above the target. The threshold speed was good at 142 knots, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -263 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,817 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,926 nautical miles, which was covered in a total flight time of 274 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 12,247 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at OJAI Queen Alia International Airport, achieving a high score of 94.9%. The final approach to runway 08L was initiated from the west, with a heading of 81.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,242 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was characterized by a slightly above-target threshold height of 56 feet agl, but the threshold speed was satisfactory at 142 knots. The touchdown point was located 255 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was a bit faster than desired, and the touchdown rate of -263 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 7°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 70°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the aircraft's stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,817 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
