MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 117 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 239 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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 3,203 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 472 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 23 at PADK Adak Airport in 4 minutes, covering 1 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 23. The aircraft used 862 m of runway, which is 36 % of the available length. Rotation occurred at 131 kt. Local weather was 9 °C with a wind from 240° at 6 kt (headwind 5 kt, crosswind 0 kt).
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 15 seconds, averaging 2,577 fpm and reaching 178 kt at the top of the segment.
Climb continued from 969 ft asl to 40,690 ft asl in 41 minutes, covering 381 nm, with the aircraft overhead Adak.
The aircraft then level-flew at 41,000 ft asl for 264 minutes, covering 2,308 nm, beginning 24 miles south of Unalaska.
Descent from 40,923 ft asl to 3,160 ft asl was completed in 14 minutes over 94 nm, starting 9 miles north-west of U75 Jackass Amargosa Valley.
Final approach to runway 26L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport began with a descent from 1,280 ft agl to -21 ft agl in 102 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. Configuration was landing gear down at 8,162 ft agl and 309 kt; final flap position 8 was selected at 1,785 ft agl and 152 kt.
Landing on runway 26L, which is 3,203 m long, had a good threshold height. Threshold speed was 127 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred 51 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 118 kt, noted as a little fast, with a touchdown rate of minus 239 fpm, rated fair. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Local weather at the airport was 18 °C with wind from 219° at 2 kt (headwind 2 kt, crosswind 2 kt). No bounce occurred.
Total landing distance was 1,337 m, representing 42 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 2,791 nm in 327 minutes and used 12,682 kg of fuel.
