Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 51 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 51 ft, 5.8 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,657 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,657 ft of the 7,980 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,352 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 taxied from the parking area to runway 18R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in 7 minutes, covering 3 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 18R with a takeoff distance of 7,653 ft (57 % of runway). Rotation occurred at 150 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 74 °F, wind 0 kt from 359°, crosswind 0 kt, headwind 0 kt.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 28 seconds, averaging 1,489 fpm and reaching 181 kt at the top. The climb continued from 1,572 ft asl to 32,014 ft asl in 15 minutes, covering 90 nm, beginning 1 mile south-west of KDFW.
The aircraft level-flew at 32,000 ft asl for 70 minutes, covering 526 nm, starting 3 miles west of 1F1 Lake Murray State Park Airport Overbrook.
Descent from 31,997 ft asl to 8,043 ft asl took 19 minutes, covering 98 nm, beginning 2 miles north of 7CO0 Parkland Airport Erie.
Final approach to runway 25 at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport descended from 1,641 ft agl to 164 ft agl in 85 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. Configuration was landing gear down at 1,249 ft agl, 194 kt; final flap position 7 at 1,838 ft agl, 190 kt.
Landing on runway 25 (runway length 7,980 ft) had a good threshold height. Threshold speed was 143 kt. The flare was described as excellent. Touchdown occurred 1,352 ft down the runway at 136 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 162 fpm and very good runway-touchdown alignment. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 5,384 ft (67 % of runway) and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at KEGE was temperature 68 °F, wind 2 kt from 209°, crosswind 1 kt, headwind 1 kt.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
The flight covered a total of 724 nm in 115 minutes and used 10,044 lb of fuel.
