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.

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 8,995 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,343 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 25R at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 7,970 feet, which accounted for 78% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 169 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit. The enroute climb started over Central City, Arizona, where the aircraft ascended from 2,110 feet above sea level to 27,318 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,208 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 12 nautical miles, starting 21 miles south of La Paz Valley, Arizona.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering another climb phase 17 miles east of CN98 Walters Camp Airport Palo Verde, California, where it ascended from 27,661 feet above sea level to 35,767 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,107 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 317 minutes and covering 2,225 nautical miles, starting 3 miles northwest of Westmorland, California.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started 84 miles northeast of 18HI Brandt Field Port Saint Joe, Hawaii, where it descended from 36,165 feet above sea level to 2,581 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,584 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles, starting 7 miles south of 'Ewa Beach, Hawaii.
The final descent phase started 4 miles south of Ocean Pointe, Hawaii, where the aircraft descended from 2,360 feet above sea level to 1,313 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,047 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 04R at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, coming in from the southwest at a heading of 54.0 degrees, 4 nautical miles from the runway and 1,292 feet above ground level.
The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 134 knots, which was within the target range. The touchdown point was 971 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was fair at -238 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 84 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 10 knots at 81 degrees.
The total landing distance was 4,633 feet, which accounted for 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The post-landing taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,546 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 383 minutes, with a total fuel consumption of 31,858 pounds.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 54.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to runway 04R was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading and altitude. The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, but this did not seem to affect the overall performance of the landing. The threshold speed was good, at 146 knots, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was fair, at -238 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting that the aircraft could have been slowed down more efficiently during the landing roll. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 84°F and a wind speed of 10 knots at 81°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
The total landing distance was 4,633 feet, which was 52% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured and controlled during the landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures, with a score of 91.7%. The landing was smooth and controlled, with a good threshold speed and touchdown speed, and a very good runway touchdown alignment and rollout alignment.
