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 1,872 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,872 m of the 3,290 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 864 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 05 at RPMD Francisco Bangoy International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,786 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 180 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 20 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started enroute climb 1 mile north east of RPMD Francisco Bangoy International Airport, Davao, Philippines. The climb took 13 minutes and covered 77 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 1,099 feet above sea level to 30,899 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,799 feet. The enroute level cruise started 6 miles east of Sumilao, Northern Mindanao, Philippines, and lasted 4 minutes, covering 35 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile north west of Lagonglong, Northern Mindanao, Philippines, and took 19 minutes to descend from 31,189 feet above sea level to 1,318 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,871 feet. The descent covered 99 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 04 at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport was made from the south west, heading 45.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,259 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 04 at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport was successful, with the touchdown point being 448 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -128 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 339 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,791 meters, which was 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 219 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 50 minutes. The aircraft used 1,966 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport, achieving a high score of 94.7%. The final approach to runway 04 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 45.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 143 knots. The touchdown point was located 448 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal position. However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -128 feet per minute was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the landing roll. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 339°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,791 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
