Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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 7,089 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,103 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 04 at KHOU William P Hobby Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,351 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 50°. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 3 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile west of South Houston, Texas, and involved a significant ascent from 1,092 feet above sea level to 35,759 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,667 feet in just 18 minutes and covering a distance of 123 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 91 miles southeast of Galveston, Texas, and lasted for 74 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 556 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 22 miles west of Dziuche, Mexico, and involved a steep descent from 36,085 feet above sea level to 1,297 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,788 feet in 33 minutes and covering a distance of 145 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at MZBZ Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 77.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,258 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 07, which had a length of 7,089 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots.
The touchdown point was 744 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -189 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 84°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 40°, with a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance was 4,462 feet, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 831 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 145 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 12,515 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at MZBZ Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport, with a score of 97.8%. The final approach to runway 07 was initiated from the west, heading 77.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good alignment with the runway throughout the approach.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 744 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal spot. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit too much flare. Despite this, the touchdown rate of -189 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 84°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 40°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component, making the landing conditions ideal. The runway length of 7,089 feet was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 4,462 feet, which accounted for 63% of the runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a precise alignment with the runway during the final approach. Similarly, the runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a controlled manner.
