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 1,982 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,982 m of the 3,034 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 764 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, taking approximately 9 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 30L, with the aircraft lifting off after covering 44% of the runway's length, which was 1,349 meters. The liftoff speed was 155 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of -12 °C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 180°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started to ascend from an altitude of 1,818 feet above sea level, reaching a maximum altitude of 35,865 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,047 feet, in just 12 minutes and covering a distance of 116 nautical miles. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile east of Richfield, Minnesota, and continued until the aircraft reached the desired altitude.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started approximately 4 miles north of Dawson, Minnesota, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 773 nautical miles. This phase of the flight allowed the aircraft to maintain a steady altitude and speed, conserving fuel and minimizing the risk of turbulence.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from an altitude of 36,204 feet above sea level, reaching a final altitude of 3,630 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,574 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 109 nautical miles. The descent started approximately 8 miles southeast of Carey, Idaho.
The final approach to runway 10L at Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field was made from the west, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 116.0°, at an altitude of 792 feet above ground level, and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of -1 °C, with a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 220°.
The landing on runway 10L was successful, with the aircraft touching down beyond the touchdown zone, 353 meters from the threshold, at a speed of 131 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -284 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,907 meters, which was 63% of the runway's length.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,008 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 73 minutes, with the aircraft using 6,843 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at KBOI Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field, with a score of 89.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 116.0° at 3 nautical miles and 792 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 10L, which has a length of 3,034 meters.
Upon landing, the threshold height was found to be above the target, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly higher than intended. However, the threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 138 knots. The touchdown point was 353 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -284 feet per minute was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 220°. This resulted in a crosswind and headwind of 0 knots, making the landing conditions relatively calm. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,907 meters, which accounts for 63% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft scoring 89.4%. While there were some minor deviations from the desired landing parameters, the aircraft was able to touch down safely and come to a stop within a reasonable distance.
