Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,903 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,903 ft of the 11,316 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,455 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 19R at Harry Reid International Airport (KLAS) in Las Vegas, Nevada. The takeoff distance was 5,965 feet, which accounted for 71% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 240°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was also 1 knot. After departing from KLAS, the enroute climb started 2 miles southwest of Paradise, Nevada, and continued to an altitude of 35,322 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 143 nautical miles and took 22 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 32,015 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles west of Valle, Arizona. This phase lasted for 198 minutes and covered a distance of 1,598 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 9 miles southwest of Venice, Florida, and descended from 35,077 feet to 1,299 feet above sea level. This descent phase took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 140 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at Miami International Airport (KMIA) was made from the west, with a heading of 87.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,279 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 1,094 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -296 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 5,642 feet, which accounted for 50% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,891 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 265 minutes. The aircraft used 24,439 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) with a score of 94.4%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 09, which has a length of 11,316 feet.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 142 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown point was 1,094 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance, considering the runway's length.
The touchdown speed of 133 knots was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down smoothly and land safely. However, the touchdown rate of -296 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F. The total landing distance of 5,642 feet was 50% of the runway's length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out smoothly. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate, the overall performance of the aircraft and the pilot was impressive, earning a score of 94.4%.
