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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,196 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,196 m of the 2,863 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 585 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 35L at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,384 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The climb took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 50 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,628 feet above sea level to 27,285 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,657 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of 4TE1 Figure 1 Ranch Airport Booker. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 55 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles south east of 1TE9 Rmr Ranch Airport Franklin. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 92 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 27,415 feet above sea level to 1,370 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,045 feet.
The final approach to runway 26L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 270.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level at this point. The landing was made on runway 26L, which had a length of 2,863 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 150 knots.
The touchdown point was 156 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 140 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -248 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 310 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,102 meters, which accounted for 73% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. 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 206 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 54 minutes. The aircraft used 2,311 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, achieving a score of 89.3%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 156 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit more braking than necessary. However, the touchdown rate of -248 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot managed to slow down the aircraft relatively smoothly.
The runway threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 150 knots. These minor deviations from the target values did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 310°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which likely contributed to the smoothness of the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,102 meters was 73% of the available runway length, indicating that the pilot managed to stop the aircraft within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases. However, there were some minor deviations from the target values, which may indicate areas for improvement in future training or operations.
