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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,224 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,224 ft of the 11,537 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,613 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 15L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,333 feet, which was 36% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 40°F, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 230°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 106 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,137 feet above sea level to 34,381 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,244 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south of 56TS Elgin Intracontinental Airport. This phase lasted for 78 minutes and covered a distance of 500 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 11 miles west of 5T6 Dona Ana Co At Santa Teresa Airport. The climb took only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 34,930 feet above sea level to 36,403 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,473 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 15 miles south of NM13 Burris E Station Airport. This phase lasted for 100 minutes and covered a distance of 698 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 4 miles northeast of Whitley Gardens. The descent took 29 minutes and covered a distance of 142 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 36,184 feet above sea level to 1,299 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,885 feet.
The final approach to runway 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 298.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,276 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28R, which had a length of 11,537 feet. The threshold height at 59 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 148 knots.
The touchdown point was 1,255 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 141 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -175 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 52°F, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 140°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 5,966 feet, which was 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,466 nautical miles, which was covered in 242 minutes, and the aircraft used 21,975 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) on runway 28R. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 298.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 89.9%.
The aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, at a point 1,255 feet down the runway. The touchdown speed was recorded at 141 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good, at -175 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 52°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 140°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing performance of the aircraft.
The total landing distance was 5,966 feet, which accounted for 52% of the runway length. The runway length at KSFO is 11,537 feet, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft to stop safely after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft at KSFO was satisfactory, with a score of 89.9%. While there were some minor deviations from the target values, the aircraft's performance was generally good, and the landing was completed safely.
