Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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 2,258 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,258 m of the 3,661 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 949 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 to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 28 at the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,118 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -5°C, with a wind speed of 20 knots at a direction of 300°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 18 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south east of Hanover, Maryland, and ascended from an altitude of 1,123 feet above sea level to 32,942 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,819 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 86 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 6 miles south of the Yost Personal Use Airport in Shermans Dale, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 226 minutes, covering a distance of 1,451 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 4 miles south west of Myton, Utah, and the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,283 feet above sea level to 5,500 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,783 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 90 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34R at the Salt Lake City International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 355.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,253 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 34R was successful, with the touchdown point being 535 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -226 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 3°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 190°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,179 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,635 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 280 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 11,022 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Salt Lake City International Airport (KSLC) on runway 34R. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 355.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course throughout the approach, adhering to the standard procedures for a safe landing.
Upon reaching the runway threshold, the aircraft's height was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal approach path. However, the threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 141 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the approach. The touchdown point was located 535 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 124 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and speed to achieve a safe landing. However, the touchdown rate of -226 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot could have made some adjustments to achieve a smoother touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 190°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the landing, and the pilot was able to navigate the aircraft safely to the runway.
The total landing distance of 2,179 meters was 60% of the runway length, which is a relatively normal distance for a Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's rotation and deceleration during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
