The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 13,436 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,477 ft touchdown sits inside 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22L at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,672 feet, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 41°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 215°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Bensenville, Illinois. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 128 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,646 feet above sea level to 37,505 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,859 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northeast of the 42IL Lynn Heliport Union in Illinois. This phase lasted for 60 minutes and covered a distance of 417 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 8 miles northeast of Talihina, Oklahoma. The descent took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 148 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 37,998 feet above sea level to 3,993 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,005 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southwest of Krugerville, Texas, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Corinth, Texas. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 4,006 feet above sea level to 1,878 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,128 feet.
The final approach to runway 18R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 180.0° at an altitude of 1,307 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 18R, which had a length of 13,436 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 149 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,487 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -190 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 73°F and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 207°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 4,527 feet, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 717 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 122 minutes. The aircraft used 10,123 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 18R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,307 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to the runway was executed with a high degree of precision, with the aircraft maintaining a good threshold height and aligning perfectly with the runway. The threshold speed, however, was slightly above the target speed of 149 kt, indicating that the pilots may have been slightly aggressive in their approach. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good, at 1,487 feet, and the touchdown speed of 142 kt was only a little fast.
The landing was further enhanced by a good touchdown rate of -190 feet per minute (fpm), which indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and maintain control. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilots' ability to accurately align the aircraft with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 73°F and a wind speed of 12 kt at 207°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 6 kt, while the headwind component was 11 kt, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 4,527 feet was 34% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 on runway 18R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing procedure, with the pilots demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the entire process.
