Flight Score
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 202 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
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 1,998 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 167 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 20 at LFKJ Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 20, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 144 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,048 m, which represented 48 % of the runway length; local weather was 24 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 050°, a 1-kt crosswind and a 1-kt tailwind.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile southwest of LFKJ, with the airplane ascending from 969 ft asl to 40,820 ft asl-a gain of 39,851 ft-over 41 minutes while covering 322 nm.
Level cruise began about 2 miles northeast of Chieuti, Italy, and was maintained for 87 minutes, during which the flight covered 732 nm.
Descent started roughly 8 miles northwest of Tefenni, Turkey, with the aircraft descending from 40,475 ft asl to 1,257 ft asl, a loss of 39,218 ft, in 20 minutes and over a distance of 142 nm.
The final approach to runway 08 at LTFG Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport was executed from the west on a heading of 82.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,157 ft agl.
Landing on runway 08 was achieved with a threshold speed of 128 kt; touchdown occurred 167 m down the runway at a speed of 126 kt, a touchdown rate of minus 203 fpm, and perfect alignment, while the total landing distance measured 788 m (39 % of the runway).
Runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft decelerated to a stop within the remaining runway length.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,203 nm, lasted 153 minutes, and consumed 6,730 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 entered the final approach to runway 08 at LTFG Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport from the west on a heading of 82.0° at 4 nm and 1,157 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 128 kt. The aircraft crossed the threshold 167 m from the runway end, which is recorded as a good touchdown distance.
Touchdown occurred with a speed of 126 kt, noted as a little fast, and a touchdown rate that was fair at minus 203 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 788 m, representing 39 % of the 1,998 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
With a score of 99.8 % the landing was excellent; reducing the touchdown speed slightly toward the target VREF and smoothing the vertical rate will further tighten performance on future approaches.
