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 1,590 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,590 m of the 3,502 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 515 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 12R at Dubai International Airport (OMDB). The takeoff distance was 1,504 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 70 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. After departing from Dubai, the enroute climb started 2 miles southeast of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,043 feet above sea level to 36,557 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,513 feet in 25 minutes, covering 153 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 22 miles west of Rudan Airport (OIRU) in Hormozgan Province, Iran, and lasted for 83 minutes, covering 679 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 20 miles southwest of Ghazni in Afghanistan. The descent from 36,957 feet above sea level to 7,318 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,639 feet, took 19 minutes and covered 94 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at Kabul International Airport (OAKB) was made from the east, heading 287.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,433 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 29 was successful, with a runway length of 3,502 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 140 knots. The touchdown point was 105 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 135 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -376 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 248 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,515 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 934 nautical miles, taking 134 minutes, and the aircraft used 6,214 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at OAKB Kabul International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.7%. The final approach to runway 29 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 287.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,433 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 140 knots being maintained. The touchdown point was located 105 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The touchdown rate of -376 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled and stable landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 248°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was also minimal, at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,515 meters was 43% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop in a controlled manner. The high score achieved by the pilot reflects their skill and experience in navigating challenging weather conditions and landing the aircraft safely.
