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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,889 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,889 ft of the 11,316 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,183 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 09L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL). The takeoff distance was 4,190 feet, which was 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 69°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 4 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Hapeville, Georgia. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,974 feet above sea level to 32,211 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,237 feet.
After the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles south of Smithville, Georgia. This cruise phase lasted for 27 minutes and covered a distance of 200 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 23 miles west of Weeki Wachee Gardens, Florida. The climb took only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 27 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 32,184 feet above sea level to 34,116 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,932 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 4 miles northwest of Key Vista, Florida. This cruise phase lasted for 32 minutes and covered a distance of 95 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 5 miles west of Bokeelia, Florida. The descent took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 116 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 34,174 feet above sea level to 1,280 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,894 feet.
The final approach to runway 09 at Miami International Airport (KMIA) was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 87.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,261 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09, which had a length of 11,316 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 149 knots. The touchdown point was 825 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 140 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -296 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 91°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 130°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 5,631 feet, which was 50% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 553 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 103 minutes. The aircraft used 10,326 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 09, achieving a score of 95.0%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 148 kt, registering at 149 kt. However, the touchdown point was located 825 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 140 kt was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which could have contributed to the aircraft's slightly longer landing distance.
The aircraft's touchdown rate of -296 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting a moderate rate of descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 91°F and a wind speed of 4 kt from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 3 kt, which likely contributed to the aircraft's stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 5,631 feet was 50% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were properly applied and the aircraft was under control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
