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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,925 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 639 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 27 at East Midlands Airport (EGNX), with a takeoff distance of 1,366 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 260°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Castle Donington in Leicestershire, England, where the aircraft ascended from 1,331 feet above sea level to 37,754 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,423 feet in 39 minutes, covering a distance of 280 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles north of Shrule in Connaught, Ireland, and lasted for 340 minutes, covering a distance of 2,341 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles northeast of Saint-Come-Liniere in Quebec, Canada, where it descended from 38,179 feet above sea level to 2,961 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,218 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles south of Varennes in Quebec, Canada, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24L at Montreal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (CYUL) was made from the northeast, heading 223.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,263 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24L was successful, with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 136 knots. The touchdown point was 222 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -228 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. Local weather conditions at the time of landing were 11°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 50°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,184 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,767 nautical miles, taking 411 minutes, and the aircraft used 15,028 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport on runway 24L. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 223.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level. The aircraft achieved a score of 97.7%, indicating a high level of proficiency in the landing procedure.
Upon landing, the threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 136 kt. The touchdown point was located 222 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight overcorrection by the pilot. The touchdown speed of 126 kt was also a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -228 feet per minute was considered fair.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. However, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 3 kt from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was 3 kt, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 41% of the runway length. The total landing distance was 1,184 meters, which is a reasonable distance for a Boeing 737-700 aircraft.
