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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,651 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 522 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 to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 25 at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,384 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -3°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 100°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Gypsum, Colorado, and ascended from 7,442 feet above sea level to 19,540 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,098 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 7 miles southwest of Kremmling, Colorado, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 3 miles west of Estes Park, Colorado, and the aircraft descended from 19,361 feet above sea level to 6,616 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,745 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 07 at KDEN Denver International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 91.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,255 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 07 at KDEN Denver International Airport was successful, with a runway length of 3,651 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was a little below the target at 127 knots. The touchdown point was 107 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 116 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -408 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 160°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,332 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 133 nautical miles, taking 38 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,618 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KDEN Denver International Airport, achieving a score of 92.3%. The final approach to runway 07 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 91.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point located 107 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 116 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -408 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or jolt upon touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the runway touchdown alignment was deemed very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The total landing distance of 1,332 meters was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled trajectory during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the hard touchdown rate may indicate a need for further refinement in the aircraft's landing technique or a review of the approach and landing procedures.
