Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the proper flare height before you start rotating; let the runway come up to you rather than anticipating it.
What happened: The flare began early, well above the normal flare band, and touchdown followed at 507 m past the threshold, 50 m beyond the 457 m target. Starting the flare early like this usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, then touchdown distance against 457 m.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,798 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 507 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-700 taxied from the parking area to runway 08L at KATL, a movement that lasted 4 minutes and covered 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 08L at KATL, using 1,034 m (38 % of runway) to achieve a liftoff speed of 141 kt. Local weather reported temperature 26 °C, wind 2 kt from 140°, with a 1 kt crosswind and 1 kt headwind.
Climb began overhead Hapeville, Georgia, with the airplane ascending from 1,935 ft asl to 40,999 ft asl, an increase of 39,064 ft achieved in 44 minutes while covering 346 nm.
Level cruise was established 3 miles north west of 3FD6 Tradewinds Aerodrome, Scottsmoor, Florida, and persisted for 163 minutes, during which the aircraft traveled 1,344 nm.
Descent commenced 8 miles south west of Briceno, Departamento de Antioquia, Colombia, with altitude decreasing from 40,497 ft asl to 9,648 ft asl, a loss of 30,849 ft in 24 minutes over a distance of 167 nm.
Final approach to runway 14R at SKBO El Dorado International Airport involved a descent from 1,324 ft agl to 32 ft agl in 93 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
The Boeing 737-700 landed on runway 14R, which is 3,798 m long; the threshold speed was recorded at 123 kt. Touchdown occurred 93 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 116 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 182 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 5.0 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was temperature 9 °C, wind 2 kt from 30°, with a 1 kt crosswind and no headwind.
Runway rollout alignment was very good, and the total landing distance measured 1,070 m, representing 28 % of runway.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a movement that lasted 1 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 1,865 nm, required 239 of time, and consumed 9,231 kg of fuel.
The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,324 ft agl to 32 ft agl in 93 seconds on a final approach to runway 14R at SKBO, while temperature was 9 °C and wind was 2 kt from 30° (cross-wind 1 kt, head-wind 0 kt).
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold speed was good at 123 kt and the threshold height was good. The flare produced a touchdown speed of 116 kt, a touchdown rate of minus 182 fpm, and the aircraft touched down 93 m beyond the touchdown zone.
Touchdown occurred with the runway touchdown position slightly misaligned by 5.0 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,070 m, representing 28 % of the 3,798 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
To refine the already high score of 97.4 %, focus on reducing the lateral deviation from the centreline and aim for the standard 300 m (1,000 ft) aim point to keep touchdown placement consistently within the intended zone.
