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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,688 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,688 m of the 2,350 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 234 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Denver International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 25, utilizing 60% of the available runway length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 156 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 23°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 260°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 15-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Denver, it began its enroute climb, which started 3 miles southwest of the airport and continued for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 135 nautical miles. The aircraft successfully climbed from an initial altitude of 6,279 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 35,107 feet, an increase of 28,828 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 76 minutes and covered a distance of 652 nautical miles. This was followed by a series of enroute descents, with the first starting 9 miles northwest of Burna, Kentucky, and the second beginning 4 miles southeast of Brentwood, Tennessee. The final approach to runway 02L at Nashville International Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 3,547 feet above sea level to a touchdown height of 1,873 feet.
The Boeing 737-800 landed safely on runway 02L at Nashville International Airport, utilizing 69% of the available runway length. The touchdown distance was 237 meters, and the touchdown speed was 143 knots, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 943 nautical miles, and the aircraft utilized 5,595 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted for 140 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 02L at KBNA Nashville International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft descended from 1,269 feet above ground level (agl) at 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning itself with the runway heading of 18.0 degrees. The threshold height was good, allowing the pilots to maintain a stable approach path.
As the aircraft touched down, it exhibited a threshold speed of 144 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly above the optimal value, resulting in a heavy touchdown rate of -616 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the touchdown distance of 237 meters was within the acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a headwind of 4 knots, contributed to a smooth and controlled approach.
The rollout phase was characterized by perfect alignment with the runway centerline, demonstrating excellent control and precision. The total landing distance of 1,615 meters was 69% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-800 scored 95.1%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
