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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,195 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,195 ft of the 8,984 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,827 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 15L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,426 feet, which was 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 190°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of the airport and reaching a height of 35,100 feet above sea level (asl) after climbing 33,999 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 151 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of LA90 Walsh Airport Crowley in Louisiana. This phase lasted for 45 minutes and covered a distance of 355 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles south of Eclectic in Alabama and descending from 34,438 feet asl to 12,040 feet asl in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of East Newnan in Georgia and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile north of 51GA Smith Field Tyrone in Georgia and descending from 11,996 feet asl to 2,987 feet asl in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles northeast of 8GA0 Pinetree Heliport Cumming in Georgia and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 27L at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, flying from the east at a heading of 269.0° and at an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was made on runway 27L, which had a length of 8,984 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 148 knots. The touchdown point was 484 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 142 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -162 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 250°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 5,952 feet, which was 66% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 641 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 104 minutes. The aircraft used 10,669 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) on runway 27L. The final approach was executed from the east, heading 269.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 148 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing speed. However, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was a bit faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly longer landing distance. The touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 64°F and a gentle wind of 4 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance of 5,952 feet was 66% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the landing was executed safely and efficiently, with a score of 98.8%.
