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.
Side view — the last 1,652 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,652 m of the 2,803 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 527 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 area to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 31 at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,166 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -16 °C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 309°.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,859 feet above sea level to 32,417 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,558 feet, in just 6 minutes and covering a distance of 105 nautical miles. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 4 miles southwest of Erickson Municipal Airport and lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 774 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 14 miles south of Douglas Lake Airport, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,109 feet above sea level to 1,238 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,871 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 127 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08L at Vancouver International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 100.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,198 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 08L at Vancouver International Airport was successful, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots and a touchdown point 109 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown rate was very hard, at -533 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 3 °C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 110°.
The total landing distance was 1,569 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,014 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 59 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 5,699 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) on runway 08L. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 100.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,198 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 137 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 109 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, measuring -533 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with a significant amount of deceleration, which may have been due to the aircraft's weight, airspeed, or other factors.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.1 meters, which may have been due to the aircraft's alignment during the final approach or the wind conditions. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance was 1,569 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to decelerate efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to maintain alignment with the runway centerline.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with good threshold height, speed, and touchdown speed. However, the hard touchdown rate and slight misalignment from the centerline may require further investigation to identify the underlying causes and implement corrective measures to improve future landings.
