Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,152 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 134 m touchdown sits inside 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 01R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,119 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb overhead Paradise, Nevada. The climb was a significant one, with the aircraft rising from 3,192 feet above sea level to 24,916 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,724 feet in just 9 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 47 nautical miles.
After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles northwest of L25 Pearce Ferry Airport Meadview, Arizona. This phase lasted for 29 minutes and covered a distance of 193 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started from 15 miles southeast of UT02 Sandy Ranch Airport Torrey, Utah. The descent was steep, with the aircraft dropping from 25,114 feet above sea level to 5,014 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,100 feet in just 17 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at KCNY Canyonlands Regional Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 39.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 447 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 129 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown distance was good at 132 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 310 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,083 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 310 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 66 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,771 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KCNY Canyonlands Regional Airport, achieving a score of 96.7%. The final approach to runway 03 was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 39.0° at 1 nautical mile and 447 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 130 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 132 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly higher than desired, which may have contributed to a harder-than-ideal touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -530 feet per minute (fpm) was notably steep, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a bit too much force. This could be attributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed, which may have resulted in a loss of lift and a subsequent increase in descent rate. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -3°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 310°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 knots, while the headwind component was negligible, at 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,083 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway centerline, demonstrating excellent control and stability. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown rate to achieve an even smoother and more controlled landing.
