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 6,091 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,091 ft of the 10,982 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,343 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 28R at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,528 feet, which was 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 340°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Bensenville, Illinois, and ascending from an altitude of 1,697 feet above sea level to 35,958 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,261 feet in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 3 miles southeast of Andrew, Iowa, and lasting 29 minutes, covering a distance of 178 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, starting 4 miles northwest of KAXA Algona Municipal Airport, Algona, Iowa, and ascending from 36,132 feet above sea level to 37,633 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,500 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 4 miles south of 8Y8 Peltz Field, Iowa, and lasting 160 minutes, covering a distance of 1,074 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, starting 8 miles northeast of 9S9 Lexington, Lexington, Oregon, and descending from 38,043 feet above sea level to 1,307 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,736 feet in 37 minutes and covering a distance of 134 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10R at KPDX Portland International Airport was made from the northwest, heading 119.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10R, which had a length of 10,982 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 150 knots. The touchdown point was 985 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 142 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -123 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 43°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 5,833 feet, which was 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,520 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 261 minutes. The aircraft used 22,097 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Portland International Airport (KPDX) on runway 10R, achieving a score of 95.9%. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 119.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 150 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed of 142 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -123 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting a controlled and gentle 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 favorable, with a temperature of 43°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 110°. The crosswind component was negligible at 0 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions likely contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance was 5,833 feet, which represents 53% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
