Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 340 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
See Arrival Landing
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 6,052 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,052 ft of the 12,040 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,128 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 26 at KJAX Jacksonville International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,695 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 87 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 249 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 4 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KJAX Jacksonville International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,081 feet above sea level to 35,756 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,675 feet in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of Abbeville, Georgia. This phase of the flight lasted for 162 minutes and covered a distance of 1,041 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 23 miles south of Flagler, Colorado. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 36,126 feet above sea level to 8,982 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,144 feet in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 87 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles east of The Pinery, Colorado. This phase of the flight lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 5 miles northeast of Foxfield, Colorado. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 8,969 feet above sea level to 6,643 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,327 feet in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34R at KDEN Denver International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 1.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,280 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 34R, which had a length of 12,040 feet. The threshold height at 58 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 143 knots.
The touchdown point was 1,771 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -221 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 160 degrees. There was a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 5,794 feet, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,280 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 234 minutes. The aircraft used 19,821 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KDEN Denver International Airport on runway 34R. The final approach was initiated from the south, with a heading of 1.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but there were some notable deviations from the target parameters.
The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed was well above the target at 143 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was descending at a faster rate than intended. This could be attributed to the aircraft's configuration or the pilot's decision to descend more aggressively.
The touchdown point was 1,771 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the target. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also a little fast, indicating that the aircraft was not fully configured for landing. However, the touchdown rate of -221 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centreline, which could be a concern for the aircraft's stability and control during the landing roll. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 38°F and winds of 3 knots at 160°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which is relatively insignificant.
The total landing distance of 5,794 feet was 48% of the runway length, which is a relatively long landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment and direction during the landing roll. Overall, while there were some deviations from the target parameters, the aircraft was able to land safely and maintain control during the landing roll.
