Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 123 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 150 fpm.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,352 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 579 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG), the Boeing 737-600 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 04, utilizing 14% of the available runway length to achieve liftoff. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 138 knots, taking advantage of the 9-knot headwind and minimal crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it passed overhead Le Grand-Saconnex, marking the beginning of its ascent. The climb phase was completed in 10 minutes, during which the aircraft gained 23,689 feet in altitude and covered a distance of 66 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced approximately 1 mile northeast of Besancon, France, and lasted for 29 minutes, covering a distance of 227 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile east of Sint-Agatha-Rode, Belgium, and continued until it reached its final cruise altitude over Mijdrecht, Netherlands. The final approach to runway 27 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (EHAM) was initiated from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 268.0° at an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The Boeing 737-600 landed safely on runway 27, utilizing 30% of the available runway length. The touchdown point was 160 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 118 knots and a touchdown rate of -176 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.2 meters. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing its journey in 65 minutes and covering a total distance of 405 nautical miles. The flight utilized 3,715 kilograms of fuel, demonstrating efficient performance throughout its duration.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 27 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition into the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 128 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. At 118 kt, the touchdown speed was also good, and the touchdown rate of -176 fpm was within the desired parameters.
The touchdown point was located 160 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 m from the centreline, but this deviation was minor and did not compromise the safety of the operation. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 999 m, which accounted for 30% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating a high level of control and precision during the final stages of the landing. Overall, the landing performance was excellent, with a score of 98.3% reflecting the high standard of execution.
