Flight Score
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 55 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 55 ft, 9.6 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 273 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 5.8° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 4.1° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,722 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,722 m of the 3,045 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 565 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 18R at KAUS Austin Bergstrom International Airport, covering 3 nm in 13 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 18R, the takeoff run measured 1,487 m, representing 40 % of the runway length, and rotation was achieved at 138 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 33 °C with wind from 160° at 12 kt, including a 4 kt cross-wind component and an 11 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead KAUS, ascending from 1,491 ft asl to 37,987 ft asl, an increase of 36,496 ft achieved in 22 minutes while covering 140 nm.
Cruise began 8 miles north-west of Lake Brownwood, persisting for 47 minutes and encompassing 301 nm of flight.
Descent was initiated 9 miles south-west of NM73 Akin and Akin Airport Mc Alister, descending from 38,013 ft asl to 6,209 ft asl, a loss of 31,805 ft in 26 minutes over 135 nm.
The final approach to runway 21 at KABQ Albuquerque International Sunport involved a descent from 1,206 ft agl to 86 ft agl in 74 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 21, whose length is 3,045 m, was executed with a threshold speed of 145 kt. Touchdown occurred 154 m beyond the touchdown zone at 135 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 273 fpm and very good runway-touchdown alignment. Local weather reported a temperature of 22 °C, wind from 180° at 10 kt, a 7 kt cross-wind and a 7 kt head-wind. The total landing distance recorded was 1,650 m, equivalent to 54 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted as very good following touchdown.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area, covering 2 nm in 13 minutes.
In total, the flight covered 586 nm, taking 118, and consumed 4,460 kg of fuel.
