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 214 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 214 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 3,220 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 393 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-700 taxied from the parking area to runway 28 at UHMM Sokol Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 28 at UHMM, using 2,392 m (70 % of runway) for the take-off. Liftoff was achieved at 142 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 10 °C, wind 3 kt from 60°, a crosswind component of 2 kt and a tailwind component of 3 kt.
Climb began 1 mile west of UHMM, with the airplane ascending from 1,509 ft asl to 40,988 ft asl, an increase of 39,479 ft in 47 minutes while covering 365 nm.
The first cruise segment started 57 miles north-east of UHMG Chaybukha Airport and lasted 138 minutes, during which 1,165 nm were flown.
Descent was initiated 16 miles south of McGrath, Alaska, with the aircraft descending from 40,775 ft asl to 1,588 ft asl, a loss of 39,187 ft in 24 minutes and covering 171 nm.
A brief cruise followed, beginning 5 miles west of 6AK5 Fire Island Airport, Anchorage, and lasting 2 minutes for a distance of 6 nm.
Final approach to runway 07L at PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport reduced altitude from 1,291 ft agl to 45 ft agl in 104 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 07L was performed with a runway length of 3,220 m; threshold speed was 126 kt, touchdown distance 393 m, touchdown speed 120 kt, and touchdown rate minus 215 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good. Local weather at the time was 3 °C with wind 2 kt from 40°, a crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind component of 1 kt. Total landing distance was 792 m, representing 25 % of the runway.
Runway rollout continued with very good alignment, confirming the total landing distance of 792 m (25 % of runway).
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,714 nm, required 216 minutes of flight time, and consumed 8,928 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 approached runway 07L at PANC in a stabilised configuration, with gear down, flaps selected, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits as assessed at the 1,000 ft gate. Descent was from 1,291 ft AGL to 45 ft AGL over 104 seconds and the approach earned full marks on the stabilisation gates.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 126 kt, touched down 393 m down the runway, and achieved a good touchdown speed of 120 kt. The touchdown rate was recorded as fair at minus 215 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was very good, with a satisfactory threshold height.
Touchdown occurred with the same speed of 120 kt and a rate of minus 215 fpm, and the aircraft remained very well aligned with the centreline. Total landing distance was 792 m, representing 25 % of the 3,220 m runway, and the rollout alignment was very good. Local weather was 3 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 040°, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
The rollout proceeded with very good alignment and the aircraft decelerated within the expected distance, completing the landing safely.
To tighten the touchdown profile, aim for a slightly shallower vertical rate to reduce the minus 215 fpm descent. Additionally, target the standard aim point of about 300 m (1,000 ft) from the threshold to keep the touchdown distance closer to the optimal landing zone.
