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 1,570 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,570 m of the 2,447 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 704 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 09 at WADD Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,705 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 110 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Kuta, Provinsi Bali, Indonesia. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,030 feet above sea level to 9,316 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,286 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 11 miles east of Nusa Dua, Provinsi Bali, Indonesia, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 8 miles south of Amlapura, Provinsi Bali, Indonesia. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 9,362 feet above sea level to 39,356 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,995 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 116 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 17 miles north of WARE Noto Hadinegoro, Jawa Timur, Indonesia, and lasted for 133 minutes, covering a distance of 924 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started from a latitude of -11.1596688 and a longitude of 98.4976615. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 39,499 feet above sea level to 1,388 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,111 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 116 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 15 at YPCC Cocos (Keeling) Islands Airport was made from the north west, with a heading of 149.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,371 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 15 at YPCC Cocos (Keeling) Islands Airport was successful, with a runway length of 2,447 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 150 knots. The touchdown point was 287 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 140 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -340 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 129 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,488 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,193 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 192 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,533 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at YPCC Cocos (Keeling) Islands Airport, achieving a score of 94.0%. The final approach to runway 15 was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 149.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,371 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed on runway 15, which has a length of 2,447 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 150 kt, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's weight.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 287 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal landing spot. The touchdown speed of 140 kt was also a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -340 feet per minute was firm, suggesting that the aircraft touched down with a moderate amount of force.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or the pilot's judgment. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 18 kt from 129°. The crosswind component was 6 kt, while the headwind component was 17 kt, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,488 meters was 61% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to bring it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's skills and judgment were demonstrated through the execution of a safe and controlled landing.
