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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,603 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,603 m of the 3,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 569 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 17L at Calgary International Airport (CYYC) in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The takeoff distance was 1,805 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and winds of 7 knots at 150 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. After departing from Calgary, the enroute climb began approximately 1 mile south east of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 4,589 feet above sea level to 39,565 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,976 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 186 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 18 miles east of Leader Airport (CJD5) in Saskatchewan, Canada, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 300 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 15 miles north of Virden (West) Airport (CJZ5) in Manitoba, Canada, where it descended from 38,964 feet above sea level to 2,045 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,919 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 153 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) was made from the south, heading 8.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,255 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 36, which had a length of 3,357 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 152 knots.
The touchdown point was 158 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 145 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -203 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and winds of 7 knots at 50 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,527 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 650 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 65 minutes. The aircraft used 4,131 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) on runway 36. The final approach was conducted from the south, with a heading of 8.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft achieved a high score of 98.3% for this landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 158 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 145 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit too much reverse thrust or braking during the landing roll. The touchdown rate of -203 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 knots, while the headwind component was also 5 knots, resulting in a negligible wind effect on the landing. The runway length of 3,357 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,527 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline during the final approach. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll and had successfully aligned it with the runway centerline once again. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a relatively short distance and with minimal deviation from the ideal landing spot.
