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 7,351 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,363 ft 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 16 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 18L at Tulsa International Airport (KTUL) in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The takeoff distance was 4,397 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 86°F and winds of 10 knots at 212°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 9 knots. After departing from KTUL, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and reached an altitude of 22,865 feet above sea level (asl) in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,647 feet asl to the final altitude.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 4 miles southwest of Eufaula Municipal Airport (F08) in Eufaula, Oklahoma. This cruise phase lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of 67 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 5 miles east of Canyon Springs Ranch Airport (OK44) in Bokchito, Oklahoma. The descent was from an altitude of 22,893 feet asl to 2,522 feet asl in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 78 nautical miles.
After the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Lakewood Village in Texas and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 13L at Dallas Love Field (KDAL) was from the northwest, with a heading of 136.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,235 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 7,351 feet.
The landing was characterized by a threshold height that was slightly above the target, and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 156 knots. The touchdown point was 1,017 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 147 knots, which was fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -133 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 20 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 79°F and winds of 8 knots at 184°, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 4,749 feet, which accounted for 65% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 225 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 68 minutes. The aircraft used 6,351 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Dallas Love Field (KDAL) on runway 13L, achieving a score of 90.3%. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 136.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,235 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 1,017 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-target. The touchdown speed of 147 knots was also faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit too much thrust during the approach. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -133 feet per minute (fpm), which is a positive aspect of the landing.
The runway threshold height was slightly above the target at 59 feet agl, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 156 knots. This suggests that the pilot may have been a bit too aggressive during the approach, but fortunately, the aircraft was able to recover and land safely.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 8 knots at 184°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 4,749 feet, which is 65% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while there were some minor issues with the landing, such as the touchdown point being slightly off-target and the touchdown speed being too fast, the pilot was able to recover and land the aircraft safely. The score of 90.3% reflects the minor deviations from the target parameters, but the overall performance was still satisfactory.
