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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,485 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,298 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 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 28L at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,675 feet, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 54°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 320°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was also 2 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Bensenville, Illinois. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 103 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,720 feet above sea level to 36,134 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,413 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Furtney Fisher, Illinois. This phase lasted for 158 minutes and covered a distance of 1,073 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 59 miles northwest of Rio Lagartos, Mexico. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 117 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,954 feet above sea level to 2,523 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,432 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 14 miles north of Leona Vicario, Mexico. This phase lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 12R at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún was made from the northwest, heading 124.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,244 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 12R was successful, with a touchdown speed of 124 knots and a touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute. However, the touchdown point was 930 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 4,679 feet, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 27 feet from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,314 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 221 minutes. The aircraft used 18,570 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún, achieving a score of 91.8%. The final approach to runway 12R was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 124.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,244 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 137 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 930 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a good control of the aircraft during the landing phase. The touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 9 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 4,679 feet was 41% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline, indicating that the aircraft may have been difficult to control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues that need to be addressed to improve the aircraft's performance.
