Improve the landing
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,580 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 562 m past the threshold — beyond 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 29 at CYYT St. John's International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,081 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 256°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile west of CYYT St. John's International Airport. The climb took 36 minutes and covered a distance of 277 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,427 feet above sea level to 37,083 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,656 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 281 minutes and covered a distance of 1,588 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a specific location, with a latitude of 48.9044641 and a longitude of -46.0916064.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles northwest of Dolgarrog in Conwy, Wales. The descent took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 83 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 37,260 feet above sea level to 1,996 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,264 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles, starting 2 miles west of Egginton in Derbyshire, England.
The final approach to runway 09 at EGNX East Midlands Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 88.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09, which had a length of 2,580 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 20°.
The touchdown point was 146 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 123 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -109 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,054 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,963 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 255 minutes. The aircraft used 10,915 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at East Midlands Airport (EGNX) on runway 09, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 88.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a suitable altitude prior to touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 132 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown point was located 146 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this deviation is relatively minor and did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -109 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 20°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind component was also 1 knot, which did not pose any significant challenges to the pilots. The runway length of 2,580 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance, which was 1,054 meters, representing 41% of the available runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase and ensured a smooth transition from the landing phase to the taxiing phase. Overall, the landing was executed safely and efficiently, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a controlled manner.
