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 8,006 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,444 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 17 at KPNS Pensacola International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,165 feet, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 65°F, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 180°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south of KPNS Pensacola International Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,142 feet above sea level to 35,129 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,987 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 5 miles south of KSEM Craig Field Selma, Alabama, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 135 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles south of KRET Redstone Arsenal Airport, Alabama, and involved a descent from 34,995 feet above sea level to 1,838 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,158 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 20L at KBNA Nashville International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 198.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,237 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 20L at KBNA Nashville International Airport was successful, with a runway length of 8,006 feet. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 148 knots. The touchdown point was 1,091 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 140 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -100 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59°F, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 4,450 feet, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft took 7 minutes to taxi to the parking, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 352 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 78 minutes. The aircraft used 7,116 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KBNA Nashville International Airport, with a score of 93.2%. The final approach to runway 20L was initiated from the north, heading 198.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,237 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a high threshold speed of 148 knots, which was significantly above the target speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 1,091 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended touchdown point. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was also a bit faster than the target speed, suggesting that the pilots may have been able to make adjustments to reduce the speed during the approach. However, the touchdown rate of -100 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots. The runway length of 8,006 feet was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 4,450 feet, which accounted for 56% of the available runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. Similarly, the runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
