Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 61 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 61 ft, 16 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,522 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 272 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 07 at Juan Santamaría International Airport (MROC) in Costa Rica. The takeoff distance was 1,169 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 23°C and winds of 3 knots at 19°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was also 2 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile south east of Alajuela, Costa Rica, and the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 4,133 feet above sea level to 38,679 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,547 feet in 33 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 242 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 114 miles south west of Coiba Veraguas (MPCO) in Panama and lasted for 65 minutes, covering a distance of 1,360 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from an altitude of 39,378 feet above sea level to 1,939 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,439 feet in 10 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 51 nautical miles and started 15 miles west of Lagarto (SP2A) in Peru.
The final approach to runway 01 at Padre Aldamiz International Airport (SPTU) was made from the south, heading 2.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 01 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 272 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 122 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -256 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 30°C and winds of 2 knots at 300°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,387 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,661 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 117 minutes. The aircraft used 9,322 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at SPTU Padre Aldamiz International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The final approach to runway 01 was executed from the south, with a heading of 2.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled descent, setting the stage for a smooth touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 126 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 272 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the approach. However, the touchdown speed of 122 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -256 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 300°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind and headwind component, making the landing even more challenging and requiring the pilot to exercise greater control and precision. The total landing distance of 1,387 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits.
The post-landing rollout was executed perfectly, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and aligned path along the runway. This suggests that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing, and that the aircraft's brakes and control systems were functioning correctly. Overall, the landing was a success, demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise in executing a precise and controlled approach and landing.
