MY FS FLIGHTS
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 260 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 260 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 2,363 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 295 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Banjul International Airport (GBYD) in The Gambia, 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 a takeoff distance of 1,647 meters, which accounted for 46% of the available runway length, the aircraft lifted off from runway 32 at a liftoff speed of 135 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 250°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 290 nautical miles in 41 minutes, reaching an altitude of 40,816 feet above sea level. The climb phase was initiated overhead Banjul International Airport, and the aircraft maintained a steady ascent until it leveled off at its cruising altitude. The enroute cruise phase, which lasted for 149 minutes, covered a distance of 1,082 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying at a steady speed. The descent phase, which began 5 miles east of Anloga in Ghana, saw the aircraft descend from 40,914 feet to 1,992 feet above sea level in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles.
Upon approaching Cadjehoun Airport (DBBB) in Benin, the aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 24, aligning itself with the runway heading of 233.0°. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target value of 127 knots, and the touchdown distance was 294 meters, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was a little fast, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 785 meters, accounting for 33% of the available runway length. Following a smooth taxiing process, the aircraft came to a stop in the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 1,490 nautical miles in 211 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 8,382 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 24 at DBBB Cadjehoun Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -301 fpm, slightly above the target speed of 124 kt. The aircraft's touchdown speed was a little fast, but the touchdown distance of 294 m was good, considering the available runway length of 2,360 m. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 127 kt.
The approach quality was excellent, with a heading of 233.0° at 4 nm and 1,341 ft above ground level. The aircraft maintained perfect runway touchdown alignment, and the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25°C and a headwind of 8 kt, did not pose any significant challenges. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, allowing the pilot to maintain a stable approach.
The rollout phase was smooth, with very good alignment along the centreline. The total landing distance of 785 m, which accounted for 33% of the runway, was well within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was scored 97.6%, reflecting the pilot's skill and precision in executing a safe and efficient landing.
