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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,746 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,746 m of the 2,585 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 645 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 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 28 at GMMX Menara Airport in Marrakech, Morocco. The takeoff distance was 1,736 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Marrakech, it encountered local weather conditions of 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 240 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of the airport and reached an altitude of 36,004 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,442 feet from the initial altitude of 2,562 feet. This climb took 25 minutes and covered 184 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 10 miles north of Khenifra, Morocco. This phase lasted for 84 minutes and covered 722 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 42 miles east of Begur, Spain. The descent took 23 minutes and covered 135 nautical miles, during which the aircraft decreased its altitude from 35,993 feet to 1,279 feet.
The final approach to runway 30R at LFMT Montpellier-Méditerranée Airport was made from the southeast, heading 305.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,254 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 2,585 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 154 knots.
The touchdown point was 232 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 146 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -177 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 8°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 20 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,668 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,048 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 142 minutes. The aircraft used 6,065 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Montpellier-Méditerranée Airport, with a final approach score of 97.7%. The aircraft was approaching runway 30R from the southeast, heading 305.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed on runway 30R, which has a length of 2,585 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 153 kt, coming in at 154 kt.
The touchdown point was 232 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 146 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -177 feet per minute was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, showing that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 4 kt from 20°. The crosswind component was 4 kt, while the headwind component was 1 kt. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,668 meters, which is 65% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop in a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, showing that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it came to a stop.
Overall, the landing was executed well, with a good score and a controlled descent. The aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop in a relatively short distance, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
