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 1,994 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,994 m of the 3,862 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 766 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 area to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 28 at KSYR Syracuse Hancock International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,405 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of -1°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 190°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Mattydale, New York, and ascending from 1,439 feet above sea level to 29,779 feet above sea level, a total increase of 28,340 feet in 24 minutes and covering 129 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 12 miles southeast of Cliffcrest, Ontario, Canada. This phase lasted for 711 minutes and covered a distance of 1,391 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 17 miles southeast of Hanna, Alberta, Canada. The descent took the aircraft from 30,457 feet above sea level to 4,637 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 25,820 feet in 22 minutes and covering 89 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 35L at CYYC Calgary International Airport from the south. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,077 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time were -6°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 90°, with a crosswind component of 2 knots and a headwind component of 0 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 35L, with a touchdown point 351 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 140 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was -182 feet per minute, also considered good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,914 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,619 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 272 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 12,264 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Calgary International Airport (CYYC) on runway 35L, achieving a high score of 94.2%. The final approach was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading directly towards the runway at an altitude of 1,077 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft's approach speed and threshold height were well within the acceptable limits, with a threshold speed of 144 knots. The touchdown point was located 351 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -182 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind component of 2 knots, but no headwind component. The aircraft's ability to handle these conditions was not significantly impacted, and the landing was executed smoothly.
The total landing distance of 1,914 meters was 50% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a relatively short distance, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at Calgary International Airport was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good handling and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
