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 67 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 67 ft, 22 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,092 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 463 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 04 at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,163 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 0 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Ferney-Voltaire in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,351 feet above sea level to 38,690 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,339 feet, in 43 minutes and covering a distance of 348 nautical miles.
After the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south east of Guttaring in Kaernten, Austria. This phase lasted for 114 minutes and covered a distance of 882 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 5 miles south west of Shchyolkino in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Ukraine. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 38,501 feet above sea level to 1,242 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,259 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 110 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01 at URKG Gelendzhik Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 14.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,122 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 01, which has a length of 3,092 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 357 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were 2 and 6 knots, respectively.
The landing was successful, with a threshold speed of 146 knots, a touchdown distance of 463 meters, and a touchdown speed of 136 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -115 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,232 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,347 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 168 minutes. The aircraft used 8,475 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at URKG Gelendzhik Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 01 was executed from the south, with a heading of 14.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,122 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 146 knots, which is considered optimal for a safe and controlled landing. The touchdown distance of 463 meters was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had maintained a steady and controlled descent throughout the approach. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was also satisfactory, and the rate of descent was smooth at -115 feet per minute (fpm), further emphasizing the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a steady and accurate course throughout the approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -4°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 357°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which is considered favorable for a safe landing.
The total landing distance of 1,232 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had executed a precise and controlled approach, taking into account the aircraft's performance characteristics and the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing roll.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-900 at URKG Gelendzhik Airport was a textbook example of safe and controlled flight operations. The pilot's skills and attention to detail were evident throughout the approach, and the aircraft landed safely and smoothly on the runway.
