Flight Score
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 205 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 205 fpm next time
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 3,599 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 371 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at DRRN Diori Hamani International Airport in Niamey, Niger, took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Boeing 737-600 then departed from runway 09R, utilizing 50% of the 1,506-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 135 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 30°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 180°, resulting in a negligible headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed 340 nautical miles in 43 minutes, increasing its altitude from 1,673 feet above sea level to 39,740 feet. The climb phase was followed by a 74-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft covered 609 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 16 miles east of Velingara, Senegal, and lasted 22 minutes, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 39,471 feet to 1,908 feet. The final approach to runway 32 at GBYD Banjul International Airport was initiated from the southeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 311.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,308 feet above ground level.
The Boeing 737-600 landed on runway 32, utilizing 22% of the 3,597-meter runway. The touchdown distance was 369 meters, with a touchdown speed of 118 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was -162 feet per minute, indicating a good rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating 5.3 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,118 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 146 minutes and a fuel consumption of 6,430 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 32 at GBYD Banjul International Airport, marking a successful conclusion to the approach from the south east. The aircraft's descent was well-managed, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering at 125 kt. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance was satisfactory at 369 m, with a touchdown speed of 118 kt being a little fast. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -162 fpm was within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating by 5.3 m from the centreline. Despite this minor discrepancy, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25 °C and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 250 °, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 775 m, accounting for 22% of the runway length, was within acceptable parameters. The runway rollout alignment was particularly noteworthy, with the aircraft maintaining a very good centreline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was impressive, with a score of 98.4% reflecting the high standard of flying demonstrated by the crew.
