MY FS FLIGHTS
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 218 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 2,620 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 516 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 22 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, a movement that lasted 4 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 22, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,102 m, representing 52 % of the runway, and lifted off at 147 kt. Local weather at the time was temperature 26 °C, wind 8 kt from 190°, with a 3 kt crosswind component and an 8 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead Jackson Heights, New York, with the airplane climbing from 1,006 ft asl to 37,827 ft asl, an increase of 36,821 ft achieved in 41 minutes while covering 296 nm.
Level cruise began 16 miles south of CJA2 Selkirk Airport, Ontario, and continued for 170 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 1,255 nm.
Descent started 19 miles south-west of Baggs, Wyoming, with a descent from 37,945 ft asl to 5,782 ft asl, a decrease of 32,163 ft completed in 29 minutes and covering 194 nm.
The final approach to runway 13 at KPVU Provo-Utah Lake International Airport was executed from the north-west, on a heading of 146.0° at 4 nm and 1,275 ft agl.
Landing on runway 13, which is 2,620 m long, occurred with a threshold speed slightly above target at 136 kt. Touchdown was recorded 104 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 125 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 210 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Local weather at the airport was temperature 19 °C, wind 2 kt from 360°, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 2 kt tailwind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,128 m, representing 43 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment remained perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a movement that took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,752 nm, took 247 minutes, and consumed 11,250 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 13 at KPVU was flown from the north-west on a heading of 146.0° at 4 nm and 1,275 ft agl, with a temperature of 19 °C, wind 2 kt from 360°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt tailwind component.
The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 136 kt.
Touchdown occurred 104 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 125 kt that was good, a touchdown rate of minus 210 fpm that was fair, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,128 m, representing 43 % of the 2,620 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
To tighten the already excellent performance, aim to achieve the target threshold speed and refine the flare to reduce the touchdown rate toward a flatter profile.
