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 3,219 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 648 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 24 at VERP Raipur, a small airport in India. The takeoff distance was 1,183 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 50 degrees.
The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile southwest of VERP Raipur. The climb phase involved an increase in altitude from 2,046 feet above sea level to 38,855 feet above sea level, a total increase of 36,810 feet, over a distance of 277 nautical miles. This climb phase took 35 minutes to complete.
Following the climb phase, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 10 miles southwest of VECK Chakulia Airport in the state of Jharkhand, India. This cruise phase lasted for 47 minutes and covered a distance of 490 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 11 miles northwest of Shwebo in Myanmar. The descent phase involved a decrease in altitude from 38,941 feet above sea level to 4,555 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 34,386 feet, over a distance of 713 nautical miles. This descent phase took 24 minutes to complete.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles southwest of Chongqing in China. This cruise phase was brief, lasting only 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent phase, which started 2 miles south of Chongqing. The descent phase involved a decrease in altitude from 4,466 feet above sea level to 2,621 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 1,845 feet, over a distance of 8 nautical miles. This descent phase took 2 minutes to complete.
The final approach to runway 02R at ZUCK Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading at 17.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 02R, which had a length of 3,219 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 133 knots.
The touchdown point was 230 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 115 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -124 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at a direction of 311 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind component.
The total landing distance was 1,080 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 1,499 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 116 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,556 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at ZUCK Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport, achieving a high score of 96.5%. The final approach to runway 02R was conducted from the south, with a heading of 17.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed that was slightly above the target at 133 knots. The touchdown point was located 230 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 115 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -124 feet per minute (fpm) was also smooth, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was well-managed.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 311°. This resulted in a zero crosswind and headwind component, making the landing even more straightforward. The runway length of 3,219 meters provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance of 1,080 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to land and roll out quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating a high level of proficiency in terms of speed, distance, and alignment.
