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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,910 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,818 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-700 from KMCO Orlando International Airport to TNCA Queen Beatrix International Airport was smooth and efficient. The taxiing from the parking to the runway took 9 minutes, covering 1 nm. The departure roll from runway 17R at KMCO was successful, with a takeoff distance of 56 ft and a liftoff speed of 155 kt. The local weather at departure included a temperature of 82 °F and a wind of 8 kt at 90 °, resulting in a crosswind of 7 kt and a headwind of 0 kt.
The enroute climb started 1 mile southeast of KMCO and reached an altitude of 37,041 ft in 20 minutes, covering 132 nm. The level cruise began 6 miles southwest of ZC04 West Palm Beach Carrier and lasted 109 minutes, covering 891 nm. The descent started at Latitude: 13.9974534, Longitude: -71.4287979, descending from 36,411 ft to 2,602 ft in 18 minutes, covering 103 nm. Another level cruise segment started 17 miles northwest of Tanki Leendert, lasting 6 minutes and covering 15 nm.
The final approach to runway 11 at TNCA Queen Beatrix International Airport was from the west, with good alignment and speed. The landing on runway 11 was successful, with a good touchdown speed of 124 kt and a touchdown rate of -97 ft/m. The total landing distance was 4,022 ft, using 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and taxiing to the parking from the runway took 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 1,147 nm, taking 173 minutes and using 13,479 lbs of fuel. Overall, it was a well-executed flight with smooth operations throughout.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at TNCA Queen Beatrix International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 11 was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 104.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,250 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evident from the subsequent events.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 134 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown point was located 401 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun but still within a safe margin. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed.
One of the notable aspects of this landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -97 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with a minimal amount of deceleration, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained a steady and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 82°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 7 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 4,022 feet was 45% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance, with a score of 98.4% indicating an extremely high level of proficiency.
