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 226 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 226 fpm next time
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.

4 landings
The flight is kept as it was recorded: it ends when the engine is shut down, so a landing with the rotors turning is a stop along the way, not a new flight.

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 3,391 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 125 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 01 at KSGU St George Regional Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 01, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 133 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,050 m, which represented 37 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were 35 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 190°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a tail-wind component of 2 kt.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile northeast of KSGU, with the airplane ascending from 3,826 ft asl to 40,917 ft asl, a gain of 37,091 ft achieved in 38 minutes while covering 289 nm.
The level cruise segment began 7 miles southeast of Navajo Dam, New Mexico, and persisted for 91 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 718 nm.
Descent was initiated 5 miles north of Marshall, Arkansas, with a reduction from 40,661 ft asl to 1,552 ft asl, a loss of 39,109 ft over 21 minutes and a distance of 146 nm.
For the final approach to runway 18C at KMEM Memphis International Airport, the flight approached from the north on a heading of 179.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,266 ft agl.
Landing on runway 18C was executed with a threshold speed of 119 kt; touchdown occurred 117 m down the runway at a speed of 117 kt and a firm rate of minus 331 fpm. The runway length is 3,387 m, and the total landing distance measured 607 m, equivalent to 18 % of the runway. Alignment at touchdown and during rollout was reported as perfect and very good respectively. Local weather at the time was 28 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 210°, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and a head-wind component of 3 kt.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,159 nm, took 156 minutes, and consumed 6,444 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 entered the final approach to runway 18C at KMEM Memphis International Airport from the north on a heading of 179.0° at 4 nm and 1,266 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the local weather was 28 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 210°, including a 2 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 119 kt. The aircraft continued the flare in a controlled manner and remained aligned with the runway centreline.
Touchdown occurred 117 m down the runway at a speed of 117 kt, noted as a little fast, with a firm touchdown rate of -331 fpm and perfect runway alignment.
The total landing distance was 607 m, representing 18 % of the 3,387 m runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
With a final score of 98.0 % the landing was excellent; reducing the touchdown speed slightly and refining flare timing will help to soften the firm touchdown rate and further optimise performance.
