Flight Score
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,262 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,262 ft of the 12,012 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,036 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 15L at KIAH, a movement that lasted 12 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 15L at KIAH, the Boeing 737-800 accelerated through a takeoff distance of 4,186 ft, representing 35 % of the runway, and lifted off at 155 kt; ambient temperature was 82 °F with a wind of 4 kt from 180°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of KIAH, with the aircraft ascending from 1,062 ft asl to 38,003 ft asl, a gain of 36,940 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 135 nm.
The level cruise segment began 1 mile south of 5XS9 Byrt Airport Streetman and continued for 93 minutes, during which the flight traversed 528 nm.
Descent was initiated 15 miles west of 9V7 Eads Mun Eads, descending from 37,511 ft asl to 6,526 ft asl, a loss of 30,985 ft over 19 minutes and a distance of 116 nm.
The final approach to runway 34R at KDEN was flown from the south, aligned on a heading of 0.0°, at 4 nm and 1,140 ft agl.
A go-around was executed on runway 34R at KDEN when the aircraft reached 217 ft agl, after which the approach was abandoned and a subsequent approach was prepared.
Landing on runway 34R at KDEN was completed with a runway length of 12,023 ft; the threshold speed was 130 kt, touchdown occurred at 1,040 ft from the threshold with a speed of 125 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 215 fpm; local weather reported a temperature of 68 °F, wind 4 kt from 70°, a 4 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 5,002 ft, equivalent to 42 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the rollout phase.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 10 minutes, traveling a distance of 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 857 nm, required 150 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 13,428 lb of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 executed the final approach to runway 34R at KDEN Denver International Airport from the south, maintaining a heading of 0.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,140 ft agl. Local weather was temperature 68 °F with wind 4 kt from 70 °, providing a 4 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt headwind component. The overall landing received a score of 99.7 %.
At threshold the aircraft displayed a good threshold height and the threshold speed was good at 130 kt.
Touchdown occurred 1,040 ft down the runway at a good speed of 125 kt, with a fair touchdown rate of minus 215 fpm and perfect runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance measured 5,002 ft, representing 42 % of the 12,023 ft runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
Maintain the excellent alignment and speed control while working to reduce the touchdown vertical rate; a slightly flatter flare will help bring the rate closer to the optimal range without affecting the already strong performance.
