Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 85 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 85 ft, 40 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,836 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,836 m of the 3,500 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 399 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport). The takeoff distance was 990 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 319°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb overhead Camarate, a location in the Distrito de Lisboa, Portugal. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 129 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 1,313 feet above sea level to 35,000 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,688 feet.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles south of Armacao de Pera, a location in the Distrito de Faro, Portugal. This phase of the flight lasted 23 minutes and covered a distance of 170 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 37 miles northwest of Mohammedia, a location in Casablanca-Settat, Morocco. The descent took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 110 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 35,000 feet above sea level to 1,542 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,458 feet.
The final approach to runway 21 at GMME Rabat-Salé Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 211.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 21 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 135 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was 398 meters, and the touchdown rate was -286 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 319°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and there was a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,755 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 419 nautical miles, took 75 minutes, and used 3,415 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at GMME Rabat-Salé Airport, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The final approach to runway 21 was conducted from the north east, with a heading of 211.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 139 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 398 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was a little fast, but the aircraft was able to maintain a fair touchdown rate of -286 feet per minute (fpm).
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 319°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a perfect runway touchdown alignment and a smooth rollout.
The total landing distance of 1,755 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and efficiently on the runway.
