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 1,888 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,888 m of the 3,704 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 738 m 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 09 at Mae Sot Airport, with a takeoff distance of 907 meters, which was 61% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with no wind at all. The aircraft then took off and began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south of Mae Sot. The climb was from an altitude of 1,768 feet above sea level to 31,027 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,259 feet, in 18 minutes and covering 101 nautical miles.
After the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Kao Liao and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 7 miles northeast of Phayuha Khiri. The descent was from an altitude of 31,033 feet above sea level to 1,274 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,759 feet, in 19 minutes and covering 98 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21R at Don Mueang International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 208.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,259 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 21R, which had a length of 3,704 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 140 knots.
The touchdown point was 326 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -187 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20°C, with a wind of 2 knots at 340°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and there was a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,811 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 224 nautical miles, and the flight took 49 minutes. The aircraft used 2,407 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at VTBD Don Mueang International Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in its flight operations. The final approach to runway 21R was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft heading 208.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, as evident from the subsequent landing performance.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 140 knots was also within the acceptable range, signifying that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The touchdown point was located 326 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, still falls within the acceptable parameters. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -187 feet per minute (fpm) was within the desired range, indicating a controlled and gentle touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 340°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component, which contributed to the smooth landing. The total landing distance of 1,811 meters, accounting for 49% of the runway length, was also within the acceptable range. This indicates that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent throughout the landing process.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the Boeing 737-800's landing performance at VTBD Don Mueang International Airport was satisfactory, with a score of 94.1%. This achievement reflects the high level of proficiency and expertise of the pilots involved in the operation.
