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.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.

Side view — the last 1,130 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 129 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 33 at Lajes Airport (LPLA) in the Azores, Portugal. The takeoff distance was 875 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 340°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Lajes. The climb took 26 minutes to reach an altitude of 39,319 feet, an increase of 38,117 feet from the initial altitude of 1,203 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 196 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 87 minutes and covered a distance of 1,124 nautical miles. The cruise phase began at a latitude of 39.8353293 and a longitude of -23.0857858. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead Limoges in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. The descent took 23 minutes to reach an altitude of 3,981 feet, a decrease of 34,430 feet from the initial altitude of 38,411 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 192 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. This phase began overhead Chindrieux in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The final approach to runway 04 at Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport (LFLP) was made from the southwest, heading 38.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,714 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 04 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 131 meters, which was 52% of the runway length. The threshold speed was good at 126 knots, while the touchdown speed was a little fast at 122 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -269 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 80°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was also 1 knot. The total landing distance was 586 meters, and the aircraft then taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,526 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 145 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,987 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at LFLP Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its final approach and landing maneuvers. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 38.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,714 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's performance during the final approach was impressive, with a score of 99.5%. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 126 knots. The touchdown distance of 131 meters was within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and speed.
However, there was a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown speed, which was recorded at 122 knots. This was slightly faster than the recommended speed, but it did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown rate of -269 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the aircraft's descent more smoothly.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 80°. This minimal wind had a negligible impact on the aircraft's performance, with both crosswind and headwind components being minimal at 1 knot each.
The total landing distance of 586 meters was 52% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's speed and descent to achieve a safe and controlled touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing.
Overall, the Boeing 737-600 aircraft's landing at LFLP Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency in managing the aircraft's final approach and landing maneuvers.
