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.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,935 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 564 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 26 at KCLM William R Fairchild International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 928 meters, which was 61% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of KCLM William R Fairchild International Airport. The climb took 28 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,270 feet above sea level to 38,358 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,088 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 188 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles east of Almira, Washington. This phase of the flight lasted for 142 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 921 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 9 miles west of 40NE Landgren Ranch Airport in Bartlett, Nebraska. The descent took 16 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 39,075 feet above sea level to 3,501 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,574 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 111 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead NE40 Denton Airfield in Denton, Nebraska. This phase of the flight lasted for only 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 5 miles south east of NE40 Denton Airfield. The descent took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 3,298 feet above sea level to 2,470 feet above sea level, a decrease of 828 feet. The final descent covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 36 at KLNK Lincoln Airport, approaching from the south. The aircraft was at a heading of 0.0 degrees and was 4 nautical miles away from the airport, at an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 36, which was 3,935 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 134 knots. The touchdown point was 143 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 123 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -122 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,238 nautical miles, and the flight took 175 minutes. The aircraft used 6,060 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KLNK Lincoln Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading directly towards the threshold, and was at an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The final approach was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 0.0°, which indicates a perfectly aligned approach. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -122 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and stable landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 30°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots, which had a minimal impact on the aircraft's approach and landing. The threshold height was also good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude for a safe landing.
The touchdown point was 143 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. However, this is not unusual for a well-executed landing, and the aircraft's total landing distance of 1,016 meters was only 26% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and safely after touchdown, with a perfect runway rollout alignment.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-700 at KLNK Lincoln Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing procedure. The aircraft's high score of 98.8% reflects the pilot's skill and experience in navigating the aircraft through the final approach and landing phases.
