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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,529 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,370 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 02L at KBNA Nashville International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,970 feet, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 3 knots at 179 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 3 knots. After departing from Nashville, the enroute climb started 1 mile north of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,561 feet above sea level to 37,195 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,633 feet in 19 minutes and covering 120 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles southeast of Madisonville, Tennessee, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering 150 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 4 miles southeast of Lockhart, South Carolina, descending from 37,272 feet above sea level to 14,974 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,298 feet in 9 minutes and covering 60 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 4 miles southeast of McBee, South Carolina, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile southeast of Hartsville, South Carolina, where the aircraft descended from 14,994 feet above sea level to 3,121 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,872 feet in 9 minutes and covering 38 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 6 miles northeast of SC94 Weaver Field Johnsonville, South Carolina, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering 36 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 4 miles south of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, where the aircraft descended from 2,605 feet above sea level to 1,927 feet above sea level, a decrease of 678 feet in 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at KMYR Myrtle Beach International Airport was made from the south, heading 348.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 36 was successful, with the touchdown point being 1,013 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -229 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 81 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots at 30 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 3,631 feet, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 433 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 96 minutes. The aircraft used 7,829 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Myrtle Beach International Airport (KMYR) on runway 36. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 348.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point located 1,013 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone.
The landing performance was evaluated, and it was noted that the threshold height was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 134 knots. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -229 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 81°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 30°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind component was also 1 knot. The total landing distance was 3,631 feet, which accounted for approximately 38% of the runway length.
Despite some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance, the aircraft's rollout alignment on the runway was very good. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 91.4%.
