Work on the flare
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 six 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 2,140 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 528 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a C750, then departed from runway 13L at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The takeoff distance was 732 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 132 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started 2 miles east of KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and reached an altitude of 44,954 feet above sea level, an increase of 43,450 feet from the initial altitude of 1,504 feet. This climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 137 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 4 miles south of KASL Harrison County Airport Marshall, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering 126 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles northeast of Deville, Louisiana, and descended from 45,184 feet to 5,927 feet, a decrease of 39,257 feet in 11 minutes, covering 79 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile west of Gardere, Louisiana, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 24 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent, starting 3 miles north of Grand Point, Louisiana, and descended from 5,942 feet to 2,949 feet, a decrease of 2,993 feet in 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 3 miles east of Paulina, Louisiana, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent, starting 8 miles northeast of Raceland, Louisiana, and descended from 2,672 feet to 1,917 feet, a decrease of 755 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 8 miles northeast of Lockport, Louisiana, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02 at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport was made from the south, heading 15.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 02, which had a length of 2,140 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 121 knots. The touchdown point was 106 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 114 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -240 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 360 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 9 knots. The total landing distance was 957 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft took 5 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 417 nautical miles, and the flight took 74 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 945 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, achieving a score of 97.7%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 15.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 02, which has a length of 2,140 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 121 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. However, the touchdown speed of 114 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -240 feet per minute (fpm).
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 360°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 9 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the approach.
The total landing distance of 957 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and management during the approach and landing phases.
