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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,132 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,132 m of the 2,970 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 628 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, an RJ85, then departed from runway 16L at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (KSEA). The takeoff distance was 874 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 138 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 27 knots from a direction of 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 23 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead SeaTac, Washington. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 111 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,401 feet above sea level to 29,553 feet above sea level, a total increase of 28,152 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 10 miles northeast of the Aerostone Ranch Airport (03WN) in Goldendale, Washington. This phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 137 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles southeast of the Baker City Municipal Airport (KBKE) in Baker City, Oregon. The descent took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 96 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 30,026 feet above sea level to 4,179 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 25,847 feet.
The final approach to runway 10R at the Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field (KBOI) was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 120 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,335 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10R, which had a length of 2,970 meters. The threshold height at 69 feet above ground level was above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 113 knots.
The touchdown point was 208 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with the touchdown speed being 106 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -257 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 30 knots from a direction of 310 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a tailwind of 29 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,047 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 352 nautical miles, with the flight lasting 62 minutes and using 2,058 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at KBOI Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field, achieving a score of 91.1%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 120.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,335 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing on runway 10R, which has a length of 2,970 meters, the aircraft demonstrated a few areas for improvement. The threshold height at 69 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 113 knots, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly slow during the approach.
Despite these minor issues, the touchdown point was 208 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively acceptable distance. The touchdown speed of 106 knots was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -257 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly rough touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 30 knots at 310°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a tailwind of 29 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's performance during the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,047 meters was 69% of the runway length, which is a relatively acceptable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the aircraft demonstrated a good level of performance and control, earning a score of 91.1%.
