Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,570 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 418 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 22 at London Stansted Airport, where the Boeing 737-800 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,152 meters, which was 42% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 160 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 229 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of London Stansted Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 3,784 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering another 5 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which took the aircraft from 3,794 feet to 33,045 feet above sea level in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 68 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another cruise phase, lasting 67 minutes and covering a distance of 281 nautical miles, before beginning its descent into Geneva Cointrin International Airport. The descent phase started 1 mile south east of Chatillon-en-Bazois, France, and took the aircraft from 32,994 feet to 6,676 feet above sea level in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered another cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles, before beginning its final descent into Geneva Cointrin International Airport.
The final approach to runway 04 at Geneva Cointrin International Airport was made from the south west, with the aircraft heading 46.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,280 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 128 knots and a touchdown distance of 417 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -360 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.4 meters.
The total landing distance was 1,275 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.6 meters. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 485 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 93 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,829 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport, achieving a score of 94.4%. The final approach to runway 04 was initiated from the south-west, with a heading of 46.0° at an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 138 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 417 meters was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -360 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a stable and controlled landing.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to slight variations in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been caused by the aircraft's wheels not being perfectly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 40°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment and rollout. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, and the aircraft came to a stop within 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport was successful, with a score of 94.4%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance, the aircraft's touchdown speed, distance, and rate were all within acceptable ranges, and the aircraft came to a stop in a relatively short distance.
