Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,268 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 423 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Juba International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey on runway 31, taking off with a distance of 1,287 meters, which accounted for 54% of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 146 knots, with a gentle tailwind of 1 knot and minimal crosswind. As it departed the South Sudanese airspace, the aircraft climbed from 2,476 feet above sea level to 26,012 feet, a vertical gain of 23,536 feet, in 39 minutes and covering 209 nautical miles.
The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 5 miles west of Kapoeta Airport and lasted for 138 minutes, covering 767 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 25,565 feet above sea level to 12,005 feet, a decrease of 13,560 feet, in 13 minutes and covering 83 nautical miles. The descent phase was followed by a brief level cruise, which lasted only 2 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 16 miles north-east of 'Amran and ended with a touchdown on runway 18 at Sana'a International Airport.
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 129 knots and a distance of 413 meters, which was slightly longer than the target. The touchdown rate was excellent at -91 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,076 meters, which accounted for 33% of the available runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking only 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,086 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 7,613 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted for 201 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down smoothly on runway 18 at OYSN Sana'a International Airport, showcasing exceptional approach quality. The aircraft descended from 1,243 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning perfectly with the heading of 180.0°. The approach was characterized by a stable and controlled descent, culminating in a good threshold height.
As the aircraft touched down, it was traveling at a speed of 134 knots, slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 413 meters was well within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was a little fast, but the aircraft's rate of descent was excellent at -91 feet per minute, indicating a well-controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment as it decelerated. The total landing distance of 1,076 meters was just 33% of the runway length, demonstrating excellent control and precision. The landing was completed in ideal weather conditions, with a temperature of 30°C and a calm wind of 0 knots at 295°. Overall, the landing was scored 100.0%, reflecting the exceptional skill and control displayed by the pilots.
