Work on the flare
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.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,784 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 520 m past the threshold — beyond 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 28R at KPIT Pittsburgh International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,128 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 280°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots. After departing from KPIT, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northeast of Clinton, Pennsylvania. The climb took 33 minutes and covered a distance of 288 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 2,235 feet above sea level to 37,021 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,786 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southwest of 97NY Hunter Mountain Airport in New York. This phase lasted for 111 minutes and covered a distance of 852 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 70 miles northwest of CYKL Schefferville Airport in Quebec, Canada. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 128 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 36,936 feet above sea level to 1,912 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,025 feet.
After the enroute descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 14 miles southwest of CYVP Kuujjuaq Airport in Quebec, Canada. This phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 07 at CYVP Kuujjuaq Airport, approaching from the southwest at a heading of 42.0° and at an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level.
The landing was made on runway 07 at CYVP Kuujjuaq Airport, which had a length of 1,784 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 141 knots. The touchdown point was 88 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -117 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -22°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 239°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,030 meters, which was 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 1,285 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 168 minutes. The aircraft used 8,347 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at CYVP Kuujjuaq Airport, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 07 was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 42.0° at an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down on the runway with a speed of 133 knots, which was slightly above the target speed.
The touchdown point was located 88 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed and rate were both within acceptable limits, with a smooth touchdown rate of -117 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -22°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 239°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions presented a relatively calm environment for the landing, allowing the pilot to focus on precision and control.
The total landing distance was 1,030 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance, given the runway length and the landing conditions. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing and rollout phases.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-900 at CYVP Kuujjuaq Airport was a success, with a high score of 99.2% indicating a very high level of precision and control. The pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the landing, and the aircraft performed well in the challenging weather conditions.
