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 5,653 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,653 ft of the 8,988 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,923 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 19 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 28L at KFLL Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,675 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 61°F, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 330°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile west of Dania Beach, Florida. The climb was from an altitude of 1,054 feet above sea level to 36,054 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,000 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles.
After the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 8 miles south of the 67FL Myakka Head Airport Zolfo Springs, Florida. This phase of the flight lasted 91 minutes and covered a distance of 579 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 16 miles south of the LA12 Louisiana State Police Troop B Helipad Heliport Kenner, Louisiana. The descent was from an altitude of 36,428 feet above sea level to 1,385 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,043 feet in 34 minutes, covering a distance of 133 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport was made from the east, heading 270.0°, at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 26R was successful, with the touchdown point being 573 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 146 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -238 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 37°F. The total landing distance was 5,403 feet, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 848 nautical miles, taking 175 minutes, and the aircraft used 15,654 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport on runway 26R. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 93.0%.
The aircraft's approach to the runway was slightly above the target threshold height, with an altitude of 57 feet agl, which is 7 feet above the desired height. However, the threshold speed was well above the target, reaching 151 knots, which is a significant deviation from the expected speed. This indicates that the aircraft may have been experiencing some drag or other factors that affected its speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 573 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the expected position. The touchdown speed was also a little fast, at 146 knots, which is 5 knots above the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair, at -238 feet per minute (fpm), which is a reasonable rate considering the aircraft's weight and other factors.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 12 feet, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were functioning properly and the pilots were able to maintain control during the rollout phase.
The total landing distance was 5,403 feet, which is 60% of the runway length. This is a reasonable distance, considering the aircraft's weight and other factors. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some deviations from the expected performance, which may be worth investigating to improve future landings.
