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 5,892 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,892 ft of the 10,619 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,634 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 07L at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 5,254 feet, which was 51% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 68°F, a wind speed of 2 knots at 100°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed, it started to ascend from 2,153 feet above sea level to 35,170 feet, an increase of 33,018 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 131 nautical miles. This enroute climb phase began 1 mile east of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles southeast of the White Mountain Ultralightport in Show Low, Arizona, and lasted for 118 minutes, covering a distance of 967 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent from 34,996 feet above sea level to 11,845 feet, a decrease of 23,151 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 112 nautical miles. This enroute descent phase started 2 miles east of La Harpe Airport in La Harpe, Illinois. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southwest of Millbrook, Illinois, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 61 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its descent from 9,933 feet above sea level to 9,193 feet, a decrease of 740 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This enroute descent phase started 14 miles northeast of South Chicago, Illinois. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 17 miles east of Chicago Meigs Airport in Chicago, Illinois, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent from 9,010 feet above sea level to 1,927 feet, a decrease of 7,082 feet, in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. This enroute descent phase started 15 miles northeast of Chicago Meigs Airport. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 27C at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, flying from the east at a heading of 270.0° and at an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 27C, which had a length of 10,619 feet. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 146 knots. The touchdown point was 1,274 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 140 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -213 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°F, a wind speed of 3 knots at 290°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 5,632 feet, which was 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,312 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 196 minutes. The aircraft used 17,692 pounds of fuel during the
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27C at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, achieving a score of 90.3%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, but there were a few areas for improvement.
The threshold height at 62 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 146 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's high touchdown speed. The touchdown point was 1,274 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 140 knots was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate of -213 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to the aircraft's heading or the wind conditions. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 19°F and a wind of 3 knots at 290°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's alignment issues.
Despite these minor issues, the total landing distance of 5,632 feet was 53% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there are areas for improvement to achieve a higher score.
