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 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 2,628 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,628 m of the 3,669 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 697 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 29R at KTUS Tucson International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,700 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 41 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of KTUS Tucson International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,570 feet above sea level to 8,250 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,680 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 4 miles west of Tanque Verde, Arizona. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 8,250 feet above sea level to 36,064 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,814 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 130 nautical miles. This climb phase started 4 miles northeast of Tanque Verde.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 49 minutes and covered a distance of 321 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 13 miles southwest of Silver City, New Mexico. The aircraft then began its descent phase, which started 12 miles northwest of Saguache, Colorado. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 35,969 feet above sea level to 6,604 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,366 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35L at KDEN Denver International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 359.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,202 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 35L, which had a length of 3,669 meters. The threshold height at 57 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 151 knots.
The touchdown point was 297 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 145 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -404 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,563 meters, which accounted for 70% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 596 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 106 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,674 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KDEN Denver International Airport on runway 35L, achieving a score of 94.9%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 359.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,202 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 297 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the target area. The touchdown speed of 145 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit more braking than necessary. The touchdown rate of -404 feet per minute (fpm) was also considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight jolt upon touchdown.
Despite these minor deviations, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which is relatively minimal.
The total landing distance of 2,563 meters was 70% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with only minor deviations from the target parameters.
