Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 91 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 91 ft, 46 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,781 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 468 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Kotoka International Airport, runway 21, at DGAA, Accra, Ghana, with a takeoff distance of 1,242 meters, utilizing 40% of the runway. The Boeing 737-800 lifted off at a speed of 151 knots, with a local temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a wind of 4 knots at 270 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed from 1,124 feet above sea level to 38,630 feet, it covered a distance of 228 nautical miles in 32 minutes. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted 109 minutes and covered 841 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 39,000 feet to 4,198 feet, a decrease of 34,801 feet in 20 minutes, covering 142 nautical miles. The final descent phase started 13 miles northeast of Luanda's Dr. Antonio Agostinho Neto International Airport, with a descent from 4,014 feet to 1,849 feet in 2 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles.
The Boeing 737-800 then began its final approach to runway 24R at FNBJ Dr. Antonio Agostinho Neto Int, from the northeast, heading 233.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,324 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown point 62 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 124 knots and a touchdown rate of -182 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,022 meters, utilizing 27% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in less than 1 minute. The total flight distance was 1,234 nautical miles, taking 171 minutes, and the aircraft used 7,712 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 24R at FNBJ Dr. Antonio Agostinho Neto Int with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed was also well-managed, coming in at 134 kt, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown speed of 124 kt was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -182 fpm was within the desired parameters.
The touchdown point was located 62 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 m from the centreline, which may require some adjustment in the approach and landing technique. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24 °C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,022 m, which accounts for 27% of the runway length, is within the acceptable range for a Boeing 737-800. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of control and precision during the final stages of the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 98.4%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
