MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 229 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,639 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 490 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Edinburgh Airport, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With the runway 24 clear, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 657 meters, or 31% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 141 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 15°C, with a gentle headwind of 4 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb phase, which started overhead Ratho Station in the City of Edinburgh, Scotland. The climb from 1,100 feet above sea level to 41,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 39,908 feet, was achieved in 37 minutes, covering a distance of 286 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered its enroute level cruise phase, which lasted 84 minutes and covered 687 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent phase, initiated 6 miles southwest of Aukstadvaris in Vilnius County, Lithuania, where the aircraft descended from 40,571 feet above sea level to 3,039 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,532 feet, in 18 minutes, covering 122 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a brief level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes, before initiating its final approach to runway 13R at Minsk National Airport.
The final approach phase began 7 miles north of UMVY Lipki Air Base Vyaliki Trastsyanets in Minsk Oblast, Belarus, with the aircraft heading 139.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 13R, which featured a length of 3,638 meters, with a good threshold height. The touchdown point was 69 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 115 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -104 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,110 nautical miles, taking 148 minutes, and the aircraft used 6,165 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 13R at UMMS Minsk National Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -104 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 124 kt was within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown point, located 69 m beyond the touchdown zone, was slightly beyond the ideal spot, but still within the acceptable margin.
The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a smooth touchdown speed of 115 kt. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8 °C and a wind of 7 kt at 55 °, presented a moderate headwind component of 1 kt, which was effectively managed by the pilots. The total landing distance of 1,264 m, accounting for 35% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The pilots maintained control of the aircraft, smoothly decelerating it to a stop without any deviations from the centerline. Overall, the landing was scored 99.5%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and skill demonstrated by the pilots in executing a safe and efficient landing.
