Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 240 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,343 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 426 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from UKBB Boryspil International Airport, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey with a taxiing period of six minutes, covering a distance of two nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 18L, and the aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 141 knots within 922 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of five knots from a direction of 205 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of two knots and a headwind of five knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb phase, which started overhead UKBB Boryspil International Airport. The climb from 1,366 feet above sea level to 39,598 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,232 feet, was achieved in 39 minutes and covered a distance of 288 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered its enroute level cruise phase, which lasted for 123 minutes and covered a distance of 950 nautical miles. The cruise phase was initiated three miles east of UKVD Zhovtneve Air Base Volodymyr-Volyns'kyy. Subsequently, the aircraft began its enroute descent phase, which started one mile west of Kilham, England, and lasted for 26 minutes, covering a distance of 164 nautical miles. The descent from 39,402 feet above sea level to 1,384 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,017 feet, was completed.
The final approach to runway 24 at EGPH Edinburgh Airport was initiated from the north-east, with a heading of 239.0 degrees at a distance of four nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 24 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 423 meters, which was within the acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 121 knots was slightly above the target speed, but the touchdown rate of -147 feet per minute was smooth. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in two minutes, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile. The total flight distance of 1,409 nautical miles was achieved in 196 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 8,234 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 24 at EGPH Edinburgh Airport with a score of 99.9%. The aircraft was approaching from the north east, heading 239.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level. The final approach was characterized by good quality, with a smooth descent and a stable flight path. The threshold height was well-managed, allowing the aircraft to touch down at the optimal point on the runway.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 129 knots, resulting in a touchdown distance of 423 meters. The touchdown speed of 121 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -147 feet per minute was smooth and controlled. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13°C and a light wind of 4 knots at 280°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 861 meters was 40% of the runway length, indicating a good balance between speed and control. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was characterized by good control and precision, with a score of 99.9% reflecting the high standard of flying demonstrated by the crew.
