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 1,542 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,542 m of the 2,189 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 422 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-800 began with a 5-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at RPMD Francisco Bangoy International Airport. The departure roll took place on runway 05, with a takeoff distance of 1,150 meters (38% of the runway). The liftoff speed was 147 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 34°C with a 3-knot wind coming from 120°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and 1-knot headwind.
The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of RPMD Francisco Bangoy International Airport in Davao, Philippines. The aircraft climbed from 1,111 feet above sea level to 34,943 feet, covering a total altitude increase of 33,832 feet in 29 minutes and 197 nautical miles.
Once the aircraft reached its cruising altitude, the enroute level cruise phase lasted for 30 minutes, covering 223 nautical miles at a specific latitude and longitude.
The enroute descent began 86 miles west of Angaur in the State of Angaur, Palau. The descent took the aircraft from 34,941 feet above sea level to 1,818 feet, resulting in a decrease of 33,124 feet over 18 minutes and 96 nautical miles.
The landing occurred on runway 09 at PTRO Babelthuap Airport, which has a runway length of 2,189 meters. The aircraft was at a height of 70 feet above ground level at the threshold of the runway, with a speed of 131 knots. The touchdown point was 392 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -630 feet per minute. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 30°C with a 4-knot wind coming from 90°, resulting in no crosswind and a 4-knot headwind. The total landing distance of 1,429 meters represented 65% of the runway length.
After landing, it took 1 minute to taxi from the runway to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance for this journey was 531 nautical miles, with a total duration of 97 minutes. The flight consumed 4,573 kilograms of fuel.
