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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,417 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 622 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 36 at KSUX Sioux Gateway Airport / Brigadier General Bud Day Field. The takeoff distance was 984 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and winds of 3 knots at 240 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the tailwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northwest of Sergeant Bluff, Iowa, and reached an altitude of 38,802 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,658 feet in 34 minutes, covering a distance of 249 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead 6K2 Shelby County Airport in Shelbyville, Missouri, and lasted for 106 minutes, covering a distance of 880 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from an altitude of 39,058 feet above sea level to 3,005 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,053 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 155 nautical miles. The descent started overhead Bayshore Gardens in Florida.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 7 miles west of X51 Homestead Gen Aviation in Homestead, Florida, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final descent began 8 miles southwest of KFLR Fall River Airport in Fall River, Florida, and ended at an altitude of 1,086 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,905 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at KHST Homestead ARB Airport was from the southwest, with a heading of 49.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,076 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 06 was successful, with a touchdown point 202 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 119 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -103 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and winds of 4 knots at 190 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the tailwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,092 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,308 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 175 minutes. The aircraft used 7,731 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at KHST Homestead ARB Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 49.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,076 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to runway 06 was executed with a high degree of accuracy, with the aircraft maintaining a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 135 kt, registering at 136 kt. Despite this minor deviation, the touchdown point was 202 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is still considered a good landing.
The touchdown speed of 119 kt was within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The touchdown rate of -103 fpm was also smooth, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without any significant shock or oscillation.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is an important factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 4 kt from 190°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the tailwind component was 3 kt. These conditions did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,092 meters was 32% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and efficiently after touchdown, and that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline throughout the landing roll. This is an important factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing, and it suggests that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the entire landing procedure.
Overall, the Boeing 737-600 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures, with a score of 98.1%. This is a testament to the skill and experience of the pilot, as well as the performance capabilities of the aircraft.
