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 1,813 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,813 m of the 2,801 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 728 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 22 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 05 at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport (CYYZ). The takeoff distance was 1,903 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 175 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 15 knots at a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of the airport and rising from an altitude of 1,551 feet above sea level to 32,986 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,435 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles north of Sugar Grove, Pennsylvania, and lasting for 90 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 695 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from an altitude of 33,455 feet above sea level to 35,539 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,084 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting at a location with a latitude of 31.0011343 and a longitude of -72.6999466, and lasting for 55 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 450 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting at a location with a latitude of 23.6026397 and a longitude of -71.2052417, and descending from an altitude of 36,083 feet above sea level to 1,394 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,689 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at Providenciales International Airport (MBPV) was made from the west, with a heading of 93.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,354 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 10, which had a length of 2,801 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots.
The touchdown point was 310 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -143 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 79 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,730 meters, which was 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,421 nautical miles, taking 219 minutes, and the aircraft used 9,891 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at Providenciales International Airport, scoring a high 96.3% on its final approach. The aircraft was approaching runway 10 from the west, heading 93.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,354 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's decision to land on runway 10 was likely influenced by the favorable wind conditions, with a headwind of 11 knots at 79°, which would have helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 143 knots, but still within a safe range. The touchdown point was 310 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was well within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -143 feet per minute (fpm) was also smooth, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a steady and consistent rate of descent throughout the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 11 knots at 79°. The crosswind component was minimal, at just 3 knots, which would have made the landing even easier. The runway length of 2,801 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,730 meters, which was just 62% of the available runway length. This indicates that the pilot had plenty of room to maneuver and bring the aircraft to a stop safely.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a consistent and controlled rate of deceleration throughout the landing. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft scoring high marks for its approach, touchdown, and rollout. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled manner in which the aircraft was brought to a stop on the runway.
