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 5,112 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,112 ft of the 13,494 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,959 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 09 at Miami International Airport (KMIA) in Miami, Florida. The takeoff distance was 4,294 feet, which was 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 93°F and winds of 16 knots at 130°. The crosswind was 11 knots, and the headwind was 12 knots. After departing from KMIA, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to an altitude of 37,375 feet. This climb covered a distance of 175 nautical miles and took 26 minutes.
The enroute level cruise started 26 miles north of Las Brujas Airport (MUBR) in Cayo Santa Maria, Cuba, and lasted for 89 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 1,298 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 10 miles northeast of San Lorenzo de Esmeraldas in Ecuador and took the aircraft down to an altitude of 8,773 feet. This descent covered a distance of 90 nautical miles and took 17 minutes.
The final approach to runway 18 at Mariscal Sucre International Airport (SEQM) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 178.0° at an altitude of 3 nautical miles and 970 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft went around at an altitude of 66 feet above ground level. The landing was eventually made on runway 18, with the touchdown point being 610 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 120 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -2 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 68°F and winds of 8 knots at 150°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 4,863 feet, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,577 nautical miles, and the flight took 159 minutes, using 21,349 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Mariscal Sucre International Airport, with a final approach score of 91.8%. The aircraft was approaching runway 18 from the north, heading 178.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 970 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 13,494 feet, providing ample space for the aircraft to touch down safely.
Upon landing, the threshold height was found to be well above the target, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient clearance to avoid any obstacles. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 137 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the wind conditions. Nevertheless, the landing was deemed good, with a threshold speed of 134 knots being considered acceptable.
The touchdown point was located 610 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance considering the runway's length. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -2 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 68°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from 150°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve the landing's stability.
The total landing distance was 4,863 feet, which is 36% of the runway's length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a short distance. The score of 91.8% reflects the aircraft's ability to execute a smooth and controlled landing, despite some minor deviations from the target values.
