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.

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 6,570 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,570 ft of the 11,542 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,884 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 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 14 at Mackay Airport (YBMK). The takeoff distance was 5,019 feet, which accounted for 77% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 80°F and a wind speed of 8 knots at 158 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile east of Paget, in the State of Queensland, Australia. The climb started from an altitude of 1,029 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 35,901 feet, an increase of 34,872 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 158 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles west of Mount Morgan, also in the State of Queensland, Australia. This phase lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 158 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 13 miles northeast of Proston, which started from an altitude of 35,712 feet and ended at 1,284 feet, a decrease of 34,429 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 113 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 19L at Brisbane International Airport (YBBN) was made from the northeast, heading 207.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,262 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 19L, which had a length of 11,542 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots. The touchdown point was 505 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 147 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -118 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 70°F and a wind speed of 8 knots at 210 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 6,291 feet, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 437 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 78 minutes. The aircraft used 7,462 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at YBBN Brisbane International Airport on runway 19L, achieving a score of 98.3%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 207.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 150 knots, registering at 151 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 147 knots was a little fast, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly ahead of the optimal point. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -118 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled and stable landing.
The touchdown point was located 505 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight drift or crosswind effect. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed. The total landing distance was 6,291 feet, which is 55% of the runway length of 11,542 feet. Overall, the landing was successful, with a high score and a smooth touchdown.
