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 1,842 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 662 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 21R at VTBD Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok, Thailand. The takeoff distance was 1,138 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 116°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb began 1 mile southwest of VTBD Don Mueang International Airport. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,045 feet above sea level to 34,600 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,555 feet, in 27 minutes and covering a distance of 178 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 89 miles southwest of VTZ7 Koh Kud in Changwat Trat, Thailand. This phase lasted for 63 minutes and covered a distance of 489 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 26 miles south of Pekan in Pahang, Malaysia. The descent from 34,961 feet above sea level to 2,016 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,945 feet, took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 111 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northwest of WSSI Pulau Sudong Military Airstrip in Singapore. This phase lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 03 at WSSL Seletar Airport was made from the southwest, heading 33.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,269 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 03 at WSSL Seletar Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 249 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -195 feet per minute, also good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 15°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,316 meters, which accounted for 71% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. 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 798 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 125 minutes. The aircraft used 6,147 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at WSSL Seletar Airport, achieving a high score of 96.1%. The final approach to runway 03 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 33.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 138 knots. The touchdown point was 249 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -195 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 15°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,316 meters was 71% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining a straight and stable path after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well in terms of speed, altitude, and distance. The high score of 96.1% reflects the pilot's skill and experience in navigating the aircraft through the challenging approach and landing phase.
