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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,486 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,086 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 33R at the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (KBWI). The takeoff distance was 3,387 feet, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 141 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 67°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 239°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of Linthicum, Maryland. The climb took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 50 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 1,189 feet above sea level to 28,769 feet. The enroute level cruise started 3 miles west of Fairfield, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 5 miles southwest of Arnot, Pennsylvania, and took 16 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 28,845 feet to 2,550 feet, a decrease of 26,295 feet. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting 1 mile southwest of Harvs Airport Macedon (4NK5) in New York and lasting for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport (KROC) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 268.0° at an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 5,486 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 132 knots.
The touchdown point was 708 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 122 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -237 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 34°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from 325°.
The total landing distance was 3,266 feet, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 264 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 59 minutes. The aircraft used 4,908 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KROC Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport, with a score of 95.9%. The final approach to runway 28 was initiated from the east, heading 268.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 5,486 feet. The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 132 knots. The touchdown point was located 708 feet beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly short of the intended touchdown area.
The touchdown speed of 122 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -237 feet per minute was considered fair. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 34°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from 325°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's performance and landing characteristics.
The total landing distance was 3,266 feet, which is 60% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a high score of 95.9%. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed, touchdown rate, and runway alignment, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
