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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,076 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,076 m of the 3,329 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 780 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 area to the runway, which took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 23 at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,463 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -3°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 229°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile west of the airport and continued for 22 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,565 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 35,644 feet, an increase of 34,080 feet. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 3 miles southwest of Wilcox, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 119 minutes, covering a distance of 858 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 19 miles north of Spanish Cay Airport in the Bahamas. The descent was from an altitude of 37,584 feet to 1,310 feet, a decrease of 36,274 feet, and took 25 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 14 at Lynden Pindling International Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 135.0°, and the aircraft touched down 366 meters beyond the touchdown zone.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 137 knots and a touchdown rate of -186 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,998 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,130 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 186 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,433 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Lynden Pindling International Airport, with a final approach score of 92.9%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the northwest, heading 135.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot executed a precise landing on runway 14, which has a length of 3,329 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 149 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's control and precision.
The touchdown point was 366 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal spot but still within a safe margin. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -186 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable range. This indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and safely.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C. The total landing distance of 1,998 meters was 60% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to execute a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway after touchdown. This is an important aspect of safe landing procedures, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from veering off the runway or experiencing a loss of control.
Overall, the landing was executed safely and efficiently, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases. The final approach score of 92.9% reflects the high level of skill and expertise displayed by the pilot.
