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.

Side view — the last 5,202 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,202 ft of the 8,988 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 997 ft touchdown sits inside 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 28R at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO). The takeoff distance was 4,762 feet, which was 41% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 69°F and a wind speed of 14 knots at 310°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 14 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead San Bruno, California, and climbing from 1,016 feet above sea level to 33,919 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,903 feet in 20 minutes and covering 114 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 17 miles northwest of Coalinga Airport (KCOA) in Coalinga, California, and lasted 40 minutes, covering 1,166 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles north of Flattop Ridge Airport (TA63) in Burnet, Texas, and descending from 34,458 feet above sea level to 6,131 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,327 feet in 23 minutes and covering 128 nautical miles.
The enroute descent was followed by another level cruise, which started 2 miles northwest of Magnolia, Texas, and lasted 7 minutes, covering 27 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles southeast of Porter Heights, Texas, and descending from 5,261 feet above sea level to 1,387 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,873 feet in 6 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport (KIAH) was made from the east, heading 270.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots and a touchdown distance of 996 feet. The touchdown rate was fair at -226 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 93°F and a wind speed of 13 knots at 160°. The crosswind was 12 knots, and the tailwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 4,947 feet, which was 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 6 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,451 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 114 minutes. The aircraft used 21,677 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26R at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, achieving a score of 99.7%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 139 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 996 feet, and the touchdown speed of 134 knots was well within the recommended range. However, the touchdown rate of -226 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired.
Despite the slight issue with the touchdown rate, the overall landing was considered perfect, with the runway touchdown alignment being spot on. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were hot, with a temperature of 93°F, and a moderate wind blowing at 13 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the tailwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance of 4,947 feet was 55% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the plane to a stop.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well in a variety of challenging conditions. The pilots' skills and experience were evident in their ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently to the runway, and their attention to detail ensured that the landing was executed flawlessly.
