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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,796 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 728 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 33 at ZGSZ Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,109 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 26 degrees.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead ZGSZ Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport. The climb was from an altitude of 1,054 feet above sea level to 37,437 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,382 feet in 33 minutes, covering a distance of 213 nautical miles. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 20 miles northeast of ZSGZ Ganzhou Huangjin Airport and lasted for 142 minutes, covering a distance of 819 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile west of RJFE Fukue Airport, where the aircraft descended from 37,246 feet above sea level to 2,600 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,646 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles. The descent was followed by a brief level cruise, which started 12 miles northwest of Maebaru-chuo and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16 at RJFF Fukuoka Airport was from the northwest, with a heading of 150.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,242 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown point 312 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -135 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 160 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,201 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,147 nautical miles, taking 140 minutes, and the aircraft used 7,270 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at Fukuoka Airport (RJFF) on runway 16, achieving a high score of 95.1%. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 150.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,242 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 140 knots. The touchdown point was located 312 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The landing rate of -135 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the aircraft's weight and descent rate were well-managed. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach.
The total landing distance of 1,201 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop without any issues.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-900 at Fukuoka Airport was satisfactory, with a high score of 95.1%. The aircraft's approach and landing performance were smooth and controlled, and the runway rollout was perfect.
