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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 1,228 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,604 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 682 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, the Boeing B737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With a local temperature of 63°F and a gentle headwind of 3 knots, the aircraft took off from runway 34R, utilizing 5,007 feet of the 11,900-foot runway, which accounted for 42% of its length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, and the aircraft quickly gained altitude, clearing the airport's surroundings.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it traversed a distance of 98 nautical miles in 15 minutes, increasing its altitude by 33,123 feet to 34,573 feet above sea level. The enroute level cruise phase began 12 miles east of Mount St Helens Aero Ranch Airport, lasting 40 minutes and covering 325 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a series of descents and climbs, navigating through the complex terrain of the western United States. Notably, the aircraft climbed from 1,464 feet above sea level to 8,568 feet in just 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 17L at Sacramento International Airport was executed from the north, with a heading of 181.0° and an altitude of 964 feet above ground level.
The Boeing B737-800 landed safely on runway 17L, utilizing 688 feet of the 8,617-foot runway, which accounted for 34% of its length. The touchdown speed was slightly fast at 138 knots, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -54 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance was 2,954 feet, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 565 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 8,938 pounds of fuel during the journey, which lasted approximately 94 minutes.
The Boeing B737-800 touched down smoothly on runway 17L at KSMF Sacramento International Airport, showcasing exceptional approach quality. The aircraft descended from 964 feet above ground level (agl) at 3 nautical miles from the runway threshold, maintaining a steady heading of 181.0°. The approach was characterized by a stable and controlled descent, culminating in a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 137 knots, registering 138 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 688 feet was well within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -54 feet per minute (fpm) was particularly impressive, demonstrating excellent control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway's centerline.
Following touchdown, the aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 2,954 feet, accounting for 34% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 73°F and a gentle headwind of 2 knots, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing. Overall, the landing was deemed 100.0% successful, reflecting the crew's exceptional skill and the aircraft's performance.
