Work on the flare
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,558 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,558 ft of the 11,040 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,894 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 09L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL). The takeoff distance was 4,727 feet, which is 40% 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 66°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 120°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Hapeville, Georgia. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 108 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,047 feet above sea level to 34,704 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,657 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southwest of Bronwood, Georgia. This phase lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 116 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 16 miles west of the Ezell Airport Keaton Beach (5FL1) in Florida. The descent took 28 minutes and covered a distance of 141 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,374 feet above sea level to 1,293 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,082 feet.
The final approach to runway 01L at Tampa International Airport (KTPA) was made from the south, with a heading of 3.0° and at an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 11,040 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 155 knots. However, the touchdown point was 542 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 146 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -114 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 92°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 6,306 feet, which is 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 372 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 70 minutes. The aircraft used 6,641 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KTPA Tampa International Airport, achieving a score of 98.0%. The final approach to runway 01L was initiated from the south, with a heading of 3.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, which has a length of 11,040 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed of 155 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilots' decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother landing. The touchdown point was 542 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly further than ideal but still within a safe distance.
The touchdown speed of 146 kt was a little fast, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilots' decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother landing. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -114 fpm, indicating that the aircraft's descent was controlled and stable. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's flight path or the pilots' decision to adjust the landing approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 4 kt at 92°. The crosswind component was 4 kt, while the headwind component was 0 kt. The total landing distance was 6,306 feet, which is 57% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a safe distance.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely and smoothly on the runway.
