Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 79 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 79 ft, 34 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,991 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,564 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Chicago O'Hare International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey with a taxiing period of 10 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 10L, utilizing 4,249 feet of the 12,000-foot runway, which accounted for 33% of its length. The liftoff speed of 153 knots was achieved, and the aircraft began its climb into the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 85°F and winds of 4 knots at 140°.
As the aircraft climbed from 1,607 feet above sea level to 38,994 feet, it covered 147 nautical miles in 23 minutes, demonstrating a steady ascent. The enroute climb phase was followed by a 45-minute level cruise at an altitude of 38,994 feet, during which the aircraft covered 360 nautical miles. The flight then entered a series of descent and level cruise phases, with the aircraft descending from 39,008 feet to 14,033 feet in 6 minutes, covering 39 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 2 miles south of Handy Strip Gloucester Court House, with the aircraft descending from 13,996 feet to 7,024 feet in 9 minutes, covering 39 nautical miles.
The Boeing 737-800 then entered a final level cruise phase, lasting 24 minutes, before beginning its descent to land on runway 05 at Norfolk International Airport. The aircraft touched down 182 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots and a touchdown rate of -258 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 3,908 feet, accounting for 49% of the 7,991-foot runway. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding its journey of 776 nautical miles, which had taken 130 minutes and utilized 11,693 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 05 at KORF Norfolk International Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in the landing phase. The approach quality was excellent, with a heading of 38.0° from the south west at 4 nm and 1,225 ft above ground level. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, with a threshold height of 55 ft above ground level, slightly above the target. This minor deviation did not impact the overall performance, as the threshold speed was well within the acceptable range at 135 kt.
The touchdown characteristics were good, with the aircraft touching down 182 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 128 kt. The touchdown rate of -258 fpm was fair, indicating a slight increase in deceleration. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and precision during the landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 70°F and wind at 8 kt from 88°, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 3,908 ft, accounting for 49% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, showcasing the pilot's ability to maintain control and precision during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing performance scored 98.4%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot.
