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 94 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 94 ft, 49 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 1,634 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,634 m of the 2,190 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 374 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from José Martí International Airport (MUHA), the Boeing 777-300 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 06, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 155 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,004 meters, which accounted for 25% of the runway, was achieved in a relatively short period.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered a local weather condition of 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 100°. The climb phase started overhead Boyeros, La Habana, Cuba, and continued for 17 minutes, covering a distance of 133 nautical miles and increasing the altitude from 1,162 feet to 36,987 feet. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted for 120 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,022 nautical miles. The descent phase started 5 miles west of Princess Juliana International Airport (TNCM), Saint Martin, and continued for 15 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles and decreasing the altitude from 36,994 feet to 3,998 feet.
The final approach to runway 10 at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 81.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,283 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 144 knots, but the touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly fast. The touchdown point was 63 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,659 meters, which accounted for 72% of the runway, was achieved with a very good runway rollout alignment. The total flight distance of 1,303 nautical miles was covered in 173 minutes, using 20,809 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 10 at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport, marking a successful conclusion to the approach from the west. The aircraft's descent was well-managed, with a good threshold height achieved, allowing for a smooth transition to the runway. The threshold speed of 144 kt was also within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed flare.
However, the touchdown speed of 140 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a touchdown rate of -281 fpm, which was fair but not ideal. The touchdown point was 63 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 m from the centreline, although this did not appear to have any significant impact on the subsequent rollout.
The aircraft's rollout was notable for its excellent alignment, with the Boeing 777-300 staying remarkably close to the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,659 m, which accounted for 72% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was deemed a success, with a score of 98.7% reflecting the high standard of performance achieved. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, also contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
