MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 1,645 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,645 m of the 3,289 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 550 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from SUMU Carrasco General Cesáreo L. Berisso International Airport, the Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 06 in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The takeoff roll measured 789 m, representing 28 % of the available runway, and the aircraft achieved liftoff speed of 139 kt. Local conditions were 15 °C with a 4 kt wind from 30°, providing a 1 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
The climb phase began over Colonia Nicolich, where the aircraft ascended from 1,066 ft to 15,999 ft in 6 minutes, a gain of 14,933 ft over 34 nm. Cruise commenced 9 mi southwest of Montevideo and persisted for 13 minutes, covering 83 nm. Descent started 3 mi southwest of La Plata, with the aircraft descending from 15,997 ft to 1,352 ft in 16 minutes, a loss of 14,644 ft across 66 nm.
Approach to runway 11 at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport was from the west, heading 102.0° at 4 nm and 1,279 ft AGL. Landing occurred on runway 11, 3,289 m long, with a touchdown point 131 m beyond the touchdown zone and a touchdown speed of 123 kt. The touchdown rate was -207 fpm, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,562 m, 48 % of the runway. After touchdown, the aircraft taxied to the parking in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered 191 nm, lasted 44 minutes, and consumed 2,101 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 11 at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport was conducted from the west, with the aircraft heading 102.0° at 4 nm and 1,279 ft agl. The touchdown occurred 131 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 123 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 207 fpm. The touchdown alignment was described as perfect, and the threshold speed was reported as good at 131 kt.
During the landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 11, which measures 3,289 m in length. The total landing distance was 1,562 m, representing 48 % of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also described as perfect. Local weather conditions were 12 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 70°, a crosswind of 2 kt and a headwind of 3 kt.
