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.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,664 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 536 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a Boeing 737-800 aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, taking approximately 9 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 16L, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,402 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 178 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 210 degrees.
The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. As the aircraft climbed, it reached an altitude of 34,041 feet above sea level, having ascended from an initial altitude of 1,311 feet. This climb phase took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 112 nautical miles. The enroute climb started overhead Des Moines, Washington, and the aircraft continued to ascend to its cruising altitude.
The enroute level cruise phase began 6 miles north of Soap Lake, Washington, and lasted for 224 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,828 nautical miles. Following this, the enroute descent phase started 4 miles southeast of Blossburg, Pennsylvania, and took 24 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 139 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,477 feet to 1,444 feet, a decrease of 34,033 feet.
The final approach to runway 19 at Teterboro Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 185.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,430 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 1,664 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 146 knots. However, the touchdown point was 121 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots.
The touchdown rate was very hard at -502 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 240 degrees. The crosswind component was 18 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. The total landing distance was 1,065 meters, accounting for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.3 meters from the centerline.
In conclusion, the total flight distance was 2,088 nautical miles, taking a total of 280 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 11,797 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KTEB Teterboro Airport, with a final approach score of 91.9%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 185.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,430 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot successfully landed the aircraft on runway 19, which has a length of 1,664 meters.
The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 146 knots. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, at a distance of 121 meters. The touchdown speed of 138 knots was a bit faster than ideal, and the touchdown rate was quite hard, at -502 feet per minute (fpm). This may have been due to the aircraft's speed not being adequately managed during the final stages of the approach.
The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 6.0 meters. This may have been due to the pilot's alignment during the approach or the aircraft's response to the crosswind. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were warm, with a temperature of 27°C, and a moderate wind blowing at 22 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was 18 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,065 meters, which is 64% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude effectively during the approach. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 10.3 meters. This may have been due to the pilot's alignment during the rollout or the aircraft's response to the crosswind.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of managing the aircraft's speed and alignment during the final stages of the approach and rollout.
