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 1,751 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,751 m of the 3,194 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 581 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 to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 35L at Mohammed V International Airport (GMMN) in Casablanca, Morocco. The takeoff distance was 1,186 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 148 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and winds of 16 knots at 309 degrees. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of Zawyat an Nwacer and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,676 feet above sea level to 36,104 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,428 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 35 miles west of Marrakech Menara Airport (GMMX) and lasted for 87 minutes, covering a distance of 575 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 60 miles south of La Restinga in the Canary Islands, Spain, and descended from 36,791 feet above sea level to 2,980 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,811 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a brief level cruise phase 12 miles southwest of Playa de las Americas in the Canary Islands, lasting 5 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 07 at Tenerife Sur Airport (GCTS) was made from the southwest, heading 69.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 07 at GCTS was successful, with a touchdown point 163 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 120 knots, and the touchdown rate was -169 feet per minute, both of which were considered good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 20°C temperature and winds of 5 knots at 190 degrees, with a crosswind component of 4 knots and a tailwind component of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,668 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 820 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 149 minutes. The aircraft used 6,257 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The final approach to runway 07 was conducted from the south-west, with a heading of 69.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 127 knots. The touchdown point was located 163 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -169 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 190°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the aircraft's landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,668 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to land smoothly and efficiently, with a good runway rollout alignment. The rollout alignment was described as "very good," indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled path after touchdown.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-800 at GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport was satisfactory, with a high score of 98.3%. The aircraft's approach and landing performance were good, and the local weather conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
