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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,794 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,794 m of the 2,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 728 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 07 at RKPC Jeju International Airport, located in Jeju City, South Korea. The takeoff distance was 1,446 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at 350 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Jeju International Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 148 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,094 feet above sea level to 34,228 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,134 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 12 miles southwest of Busan, South Korea, and lasted for 50 minutes, covering a distance of 503 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 4 miles southeast of Kashiwazaki, Japan, and took 20 minutes to descend from an altitude of 33,845 feet above sea level to 1,296 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,549 feet. The descent covered a distance of 137 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27 at RJSS Sendai Airport was made from the east, heading 262.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27 at RJSS Sendai Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 311 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -117 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 21 knots at 309 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,712 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 798 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 106 minutes. The aircraft used 4,413 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at RJSS Sendai Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 262.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to runway 27 was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a steady speed of 140 knots at the threshold. This indicates that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft and adhere to the recommended approach speed, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and successful landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 130 knots, which is within the recommended range for a Boeing 737-800. The touchdown point was located 311 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown rate of -117 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilots were able to absorb the impact of the landing and maintain control of the aircraft.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and winds of 21 knots at 309°. The crosswind component was 16 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilots were able to maintain a perfect runway touchdown alignment, which is a testament to their skill and experience.
The total landing distance of 1,712 meters was 57% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilots were able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing, and that the aircraft was able to decelerate quickly and smoothly after touchdown.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft and bring it to a stop in a safe and controlled manner. Overall, this landing was a success, and the pilots demonstrated a high level of proficiency and skill in their approach and landing procedures.
