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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,405 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,405 ft of the 8,984 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,852 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight took off from runway 36R at KAUS Austin Bergstrom International Airport in Austin, Texas. Taxiing from the parking to the runway took 11 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles before reaching the departure roll. With a runway length of 8,581 ft, the takeoff distance was 4,581 ft, which is 51% of the runway. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 144 knots.
The local weather at the time of takeoff was warm, with a temperature of 88°F, and a light wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 60°. There was also a slight headwind of 1 knot. After departing from Austin, the enroute climb started one mile northeast of the airport and continued for 19 minutes, covering 127 nautical miles, and reaching a height of 39,038 ft above sea level. The aircraft experienced a significant increase in altitude of 37,496 ft.
In cruise mode, the aircraft levelled off 7 miles west of Onalaska, Texas, and spent 58 minutes at that altitude, covering 465 nautical miles. This phase of the flight was relatively smooth and uneventful. However, as the aircraft approached its destination, the enroute descent began 6 miles north of Marbury, Alabama. Over the course of 24 minutes, the aircraft descended 36,255 ft, covering 108 nautical miles and reducing its altitude to 2,320 ft.
Upon approaching KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the pilot prepared for a final approach onto runway 09R. The aircraft headed towards the runway from a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 ft above ground level. The wind conditions at the destination were relatively calm, with a temperature of 73°F and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 100°. The headwind was 2 knots, and there was no crosswind.
The aircraft touched down 1,467 ft beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 122 knots. Although this speed was slightly higher than target, the touchdown rate was excellent at -175 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the pilot successfully navigated the aircraft onto the runway. After landing, the aircraft came to a stop after a distance of 5,119 ft, which is 57% of the runway length.
Taxiing to the parking from the runway took 7 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 709 nautical miles, with a total flying time of 120 minutes and a fuel consumption of 9,221 pounds.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully completed a landing at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) on runway 09R. The landing was achieved at an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl), and from a distance of about 4 nautical miles with a heading of 90.0° from the west.
The aircraft touched down 1,467 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which was a little farther than expected, but the pilot maintained control of the aircraft. The touchdown speed of 122 knots was slightly higher than the target speed, but this did not significantly impact the outcome of the landing. The aircraft's descent rate was a satisfactory -175 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating precise control during the landing.
Local weather conditions were in favor of the aircraft, with a moderate temperature of 73°F and a minimal wind of 2 knots from a direction of 100°, resulting in a gentle crosswind and a 2-knot headwind. These weather conditions contributed to a smooth landing by reducing the aircraft's drift and the need for correction during the approach.
The total landing distance covered was 5,119 feet, accounting for approximately 57% of the 8,984-foot runway length. Although slightly beyond the target distance, this still allowed for a safe and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot successfully managed the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the Boeing 737-700 achieved an 86.5% score for this landing, which, while not perfect, indicated a satisfactory performance under the given conditions.
