MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 179 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 179 fpm next time
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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 3,195 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 386 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 15 at VQPR Paro International Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 15 with a distance of 1,212 m, which is 58 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 128 kt. Local weather was 21 °C, wind 3 kt from 200°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 26 seconds, averaging 1,975 fpm and reaching 174 kt at the top of the segment.
The aircraft climbed from 8,380 ft asl to 40,919 ft asl in 37 minutes, covering 324 nm, beginning about 1 mile south-east of VQPR Paro International Airport.
Level flight was maintained at 41,000 ft asl for 139 minutes, covering 1,302 nm, starting 39 miles east of ZUNZ Nyingchi Mainling Airport.
Descent from 40,992 ft asl to 1,438 ft asl was completed in 27 minutes, covering 206 nm, beginning 11 miles north of Binzhou.
Final approach to runway 28 at ZYTL Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport descended from 1,358 ft agl to 47 ft agl in 109 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration was landing gear down at 2,393 ft agl, 258 kt; final flap position 3 was selected at 13,451 ft agl, 292 kt.
Landing on runway 28 was made with a threshold speed of 131 kt, slightly above target. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred 385 m down the runway at 126 kt, a little fast, with a descent rate of minus 180 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 923 m, 29 % of the 3,195 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
The total flight covered 1,840 nm in 210 minutes and used 8,415 kg of fuel.
