Flight Score
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to track the centreline.
What happened: The aircraft drifted off the centreline during the landing roll.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings aligned with the runway centreline
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.

3 landings
The flight is kept as it was recorded: it ends when the engine is shut down, so a landing with the rotors turning is a stop along the way, not a new flight.
| # | Where | Into flight | Touchdown | Ground speed | Sideways | On the ground |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | LSZC · Buochs Airport | 10:57 | 547 ft/min | 20.0 kt | 1.7 kt | 0:14 |

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 3,710 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 382 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-900 departed KACK Nantucket Memorial Airport on runway 24. The take-off roll was 1,194 m, using 62 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 142 kt. Local weather was 18 °C with wind 7 kt from 159°, giving a 6 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 25 seconds, averaging 1,838 fpm and reaching 203 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 990 ft asl to 25,406 ft asl in 12 minutes, covering 85 nm, beginning about 1 mile south-west of KACK.
Cruise continued level between 25,700 ft asl and 39,000 ft asl for 297 minutes, covering 2,516 nm, starting 64 miles south-east of EM02 Da Nang Static Carrier - CVN69.
Descent began at 38,598 ft asl and proceeded to 1,659 ft asl in 25 minutes, covering 165 nm, starting from latitude 39.6645669, longitude -12.2464764, with a brief level-off at 3,000 ft asl.
Final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport descended from 1,343 ft agl to 32 ft agl in 99 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration was landing gear down at 2,330 ft agl at 268 kt, and final flap position 8 at 1,129 ft agl at 160 kt.
Landing on runway 02 was on a good threshold height. Threshold speed was 132 kt. The flare began early and was described as great. Touchdown occurred at 126 kt with a rate of -172 fpm, 381 m down the runway, and the touchdown point was 3.8 m off centreline. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 1,374 m, 37 % of the 3,710 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good. Local weather was 21 °C with wind 7 kt from 320°, giving a 6 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 2,773 nm in 343 minutes and used 16,148 kg of fuel.
