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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,643 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,643 m of the 2,567 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 818 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 area to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 19R at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO). The takeoff distance was 1,526 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 164 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Millbrae, California, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,087 feet above sea level to 38,884 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,797 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 78 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 4 miles north of Guinda, California, and lasted for 156 minutes, covering a distance of 1,129 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 15 miles north of Whale Pass Seaplane Float Harbor Facility in Alaska, descending from 37,842 feet above sea level to 299 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,543 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 131 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at Juneau International Airport (PAJN) was made from the east, heading 284.0° at an altitude of 255 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 26, which had a length of 2,567 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 143 knots. The touchdown point was 408 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 144 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -132 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.5 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 80°, with a crosswind component of 4 knots and a tailwind component of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,569 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,343 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 210 minutes. The aircraft used 7,670 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at PAJN Juneau International Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 284.0° at 0 nm and 255 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 26, which has a length of 2,567 meters.
The threshold height at 62 ft agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed was well above the target at 143 kt, suggesting that the aircraft was descending at a faster rate than intended. The touchdown point was 408 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 144 kt was also faster than the target, indicating that the aircraft was not fully slowed down before touching down. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -132 fpm, which is a positive aspect of the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.5 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the deviation from the ideal touchdown point.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 9 kt at 80°. The crosswind component was 4 kt, while the tailwind component was 8 kt. These wind conditions may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance was 1,569 meters, which is 61% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft may have been slowed down more than necessary before touching down. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the initial misalignment during touchdown.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several deviations from the ideal landing parameters. These deviations may be attributed to a combination of factors, including the wind conditions, the aircraft's approach and landing technique, and the pilot's experience and skill level.
