Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 104 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 245 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 3,058 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 499 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 approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 07 at TAPA V C Bird International Airport. The takeoff distance was 991 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile northeast of TAPA V C Bird International Airport, Osbourn, and climbed from an altitude of 1,067 feet above sea level to 38,080 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,014 feet, in 38 minutes and covering a distance of 272 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 9 miles north of ZC05 San Juan Static Carrier - CVN76, and lasted for 81 minutes, covering a distance of 893 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent approximately 1 mile northwest of Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, and descended from an altitude of 38,210 feet above sea level to 1,360 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,850 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 142 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35L at KMCO Orlando International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 359.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 77 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 120 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -135 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,180 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,313 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 140 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,521 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KMCO Orlando International Airport on runway 35L, achieving a score of 99.9%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 359.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were impressive, with a good threshold height and speed of 133 knots at the threshold. The touchdown point was 77 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -135 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the headwind component was 1 knot, which had a negligible impact on the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance of 1,180 meters was 39% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its alignment with the runway centerline throughout the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-700 aircraft at KMCO Orlando International Airport was exceptional, with a high score and minimal deviations from the desired parameters. The aircraft's ability to maintain a smooth touchdown rate and perfect runway alignment during the rollout phase is a testament to the skill of the pilots and the aircraft's design.
