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.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 1,216 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 94 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 area 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 04 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) in New York, United States. The takeoff distance was 1,241 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 153 knots.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead College Point, New York. The climb took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 82 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,029 feet above sea level to 28,813 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,784 feet. The enroute level cruise started 5 miles west of North Granby, Connecticut, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began overhead Huntington, Massachusetts, and took 28 minutes to cover a distance of 139 nautical miles. During this period, the aircraft descended from 28,811 feet above sea level to 2,297 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,515 feet. The final approach to runway 10 at Mount Washington Regional Airport (KHIE) was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 87.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,241 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 10 at KHIE was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 136 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was heavy at -646 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 894 meters, which accounted for 73% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The total flight distance was 241 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 2,154 kilograms of fuel during the flight. The local weather conditions at the time of departure from KLGA were a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, while the local weather conditions at the time of landing at KHIE were a temperature of -11 degrees Celsius.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KHIE Mount Washington Regional Airport, achieving a score of 95.0%. The final approach to runway 10 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,241 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 137 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly above the optimal range, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing speed. The touchdown rate of -646 feet per minute was also considered heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a bit too much force.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.2 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a minor error in the pilot's alignment. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -11°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics. However, the pilots were able to successfully navigate the challenging conditions and execute a safe and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 894 meters was 73% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots were able to execute a precise and controlled approach, and the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a relatively short distance. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good handling and control characteristics.
