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 6,560 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,560 ft of the 9,016 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,981 ft 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 08R at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 3,484 feet, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 88°F and winds of 8 knots at 155°. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. After departing from Miami, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Miami Springs, Florida. The climb took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 68 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 1,069 feet above sea level to 33,975 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles south west of Clewiston, Florida. This phase of the flight lasted 103 minutes and covered a distance of 729 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 7 miles north west of Hickman, Kentucky. The descent took 34 minutes and covered a distance of 131 nautical miles, with the aircraft dropping from 34,016 feet to 1,889 feet.
As the aircraft approached St. Louis Lambert International Airport (KSTL), it began its final approach to runway 30R from the south east, heading 302.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,356 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 9,016 feet, and the threshold height was well above the target. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 134 knots.
The touchdown point was 1,584 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was firm at -365 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 63°F and winds of 10 knots at 327°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 6,263 feet, which was 69% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 936 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 167 minutes. The aircraft used 12,309 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KSTL St. Louis Lambert International Airport on runway 30R. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 302.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,356 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and the results showed a score of 86.5%.
The threshold height at 75 feet agl was found to be well above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than expected at the point of threshold crossing. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was moving at a speed that was marginally faster than desired. The touchdown point was located 1,584 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant distance from the intended landing area.
The touchdown speed of 126 knots was a little fast, indicating that the aircraft was touching down at a speed that was higher than the recommended rate. The touchdown rate was firm at -365 feet per minute (fpm), which is a relatively steep descent rate. Despite these minor issues, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the point of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 10 knots from 327°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. The total landing distance was 6,263 feet, which is 69% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the aircraft's performance, including a slightly high threshold height, a marginally fast threshold speed, and a touchdown speed that was a little fast. However, the runway touchdown alignment and rollout alignment were very good, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance from the end of the runway.
