Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,267 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,499 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 area to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 08R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,816 feet, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 74 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 5 knots at 80 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Hapeville, Georgia, and the aircraft ascended from 2,025 feet above sea level to 36,276 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,252 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north east of Petty Farms Airport in Crandall, Georgia, and lasted for 22 minutes, covering a distance of 165 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 4 miles north west of Loretto, Kentucky, and descended from 36,286 feet above sea level to 2,062 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,224 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32 at Indianapolis International Airport was made from the south east, heading 315.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,262 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 32, which had a length of 7,267 feet. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 136 knots.
The touchdown point was 1,110 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -360 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 2 knots at 230 degrees, with a minimal crosswind and no headwind.
The total landing distance was 4,371 feet, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The total flight distance was 377 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 69 minutes. The aircraft used 5,963 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KIND Indianapolis International Airport, with a final approach from the southeast at a heading of 315.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway when it began its descent. The landing was executed on runway 32, which has a length of 7,267 feet.
The threshold height at 70 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when it reached the threshold of the runway. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 136 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was descending at a relatively high rate. This may have contributed to the aircraft being higher than desired at the threshold.
The touchdown point was 1,110 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant distance. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was a little fast, indicating that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly. The touchdown rate of -360 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft touched down with a relatively high rate of descent.
Despite these minor issues, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a wind of 2 knots at 230°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, and there was no headwind.
The total landing distance was 4,371 feet, which is 60% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not excessively long. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the aircraft's descent rate and touchdown speed. However, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline during both the touchdown and rollout phases was very good, indicating that the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were satisfactory.
