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 7,709 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,638 ft touchdown sits inside 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 19R at General Mitchell International Airport (KMKE) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The takeoff distance was 2,059 feet, which accounted for 23% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 62°F and winds of 6 knots at 160°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb began 1 mile west of South Milwaukee and saw the aircraft ascend from 1,708 feet above sea level to 37,989 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,280 feet in 18 minutes and covering 114 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles northeast of Chebanse Airport (KCHY) in Illinois. This phase lasted for 20 minutes and covered 153 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 37,985 feet above sea level, descending to 4,083 feet above sea level in 25 minutes and covering 132 nautical miles. The descent started overhead Mount Carmel, Illinois.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles north of Goodlettsville, Tennessee, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 1 mile northwest of Hendersonville, Tennessee, and saw the aircraft descend from 4,102 feet above sea level to 1,845 feet above sea level in 3 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20R at Nashville International Airport (KBNA) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 198.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,233 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 256 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 120 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was heavy at -614 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 3,694 feet, accounting for 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 420 nautical miles, taking 85 minutes, and the aircraft used 6,696 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KBNA Nashville International Airport on runway 20R. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 198.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,233 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was recorded at 131 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown point was located 256 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, suggesting a slight overextension of the landing gear. However, the touchdown speed of 120 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled and gentle touchdown.
The touchdown rate of -614 feet per minute (fpm) was considered heavy, which may indicate a slightly steeper-than-desired descent rate. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 77°F and a headwind of 12 knots. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which contributed to a smooth and stable landing.
The total landing distance of 3,694 feet was 48% of the available runway length, which is within the acceptable range for a Boeing 737-700 aircraft. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 91.8%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway, and the touchdown and rollout were smooth and controlled.
