Arrival
After the sink arrests at 23 ft, keep easing the yoke forward to let the aircraft continue settling rather than pausing above the runway.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 23 ft and the aircraft was held level there instead of being let down. Holding off high like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown, and here the touchdown rate was 270 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, continuing descent through the flare all the way to touchdown.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,094 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,094 ft of the 5,783 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,548 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 737-700 aircraft departed from KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, taxiing from its parking spot to the runway took 13 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll was initiated on runway 26R, with a takeoff distance of 4,868 feet, which represented 45% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a liftoff speed of 145 knots, while local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 84 °F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 230°.
Following a successful departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which kicked off overhead KLAS Harry Reid International Airport. During the climb, the aircraft rose from an altitude of 3,221 feet above sea level to an altitude of 23,983 feet, resulting in a significant increase of 20,762 feet over the course of 10 minutes and covering a distance of 52 nautical miles.
As the aircraft reached cruising altitude, it transitioned into an enroute level cruise, which lasted for 5 minutes and spanned a distance of 34 nautical miles. The cruise phase began 16 miles east of Baker, California. Following the cruise phase, the aircraft commenced its enroute descent from an altitude of 23,975 feet above sea level to 2,025 feet above sea level, resulting in a decrease of 21,951 feet over the course of 30 minutes and covering a distance of 119 nautical miles. The descent initiated 12 miles north of the Ludlow Airport Barstow.
Upon initiating the final approach, the aircraft headed towards runway 08 at KBUR Hollywood Burbank Airport from the west, maintaining a heading of 91.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,286 feet above ground level. Upon touching down on runway 08, which measured 5,783 feet in length, the aircraft landed with a threshold height that was slightly above target but achieved a threshold speed of 128 knots.
Notably, the touchdown point was located 1,181 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, while the touchdown speed of 114 knots was deemed good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -329 feet per minute. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was found to be very good. Local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 81 °F and a wind speed of 5 knots at 180°.
A review of the landing data indicates that the total landing distance of 4,827 feet was 83% of the runway's length, and the runway rollout alignment was found to be slightly misaligned by 30 feet from the centreline.
In conclusion, the flight was completed in a total of 60 minutes, covering a distance of 213 nautical miles and utilizing 5,108 pounds of fuel. Overall, the aircraft's performance during the flight was satisfactory, with minimal deviations from planned parameters.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KBUR Hollywood Burbank Airport on runway 08 after a final approach from the west. The aircraft's final approach speed, height, and heading were precisely managed before the landing, displaying a sense of expertise and control. At 4 nautical miles from the runway and 1,286 feet above ground level, the aircraft was in its final approach phase, with a heading of 91.0°.
Upon landing, the aircraft achieved a threshold height of 58 feet above ground level, which was slightly above the target height. However, the threshold speed was perfectly managed, coming in at 128 knots, indicating a stable and controlled approach. The touchdown point was 1,181 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which, although not perfect, still demonstrated a reasonable degree of accuracy considering the circumstances.
The touchdown speed of 114 knots was well within the acceptable range, denoting a safe and controlled touchdown. Moreover, the touchdown rate of -329 feet per minute was firm but not excessive, further emphasizing the pilot's skills in managing the aircraft's descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's proficiency in aligning the aircraft with the runway and controlling the landing.
The landing was undertaken in local weather conditions characterized by a temperature of 81°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 180°. The crosswind component was also 5 knots, while the headwind component was negligible at 0 knots. These conditions suggest that the pilots made no adjustments to compensate for wind shear or crosswind effects, indicating a high level of proficiency and experience.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 4,827 feet, which works out to 83% of the runway's length. This suggests that the pilot's skills in controlling the aircraft's descent and maintaining the proper speed allowed for an efficient and controlled landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned, drifting 30 feet off the centerline. This may suggest that the pilots were slightly overwhelmed by the moment of touchdown or failed to correct for a small deviation.
Overall, this landing can be considered a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high degree of skill and expertise in controlling the Boeing 737-700 aircraft and managing its descent onto runway 08 at KBUR Hollywood Burbank Airport.
