MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 258 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 258 fpm next time
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 1,823 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,823 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 510 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from DBBB Cadjehoun Airport in Cotonou, Benin, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey with a taxiing period of 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 24, utilizing 926 meters, or 39% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 142 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 27°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots from 219°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and an 8-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it traversed a distance of 279 nautical miles, increasing its altitude from 991 feet above sea level to 40,602 feet in 37 minutes. The enroute climb phase concluded overhead DBBB Cadjehoun Airport, marking the beginning of the level cruise phase. The aircraft cruised for 311 minutes, covering a distance of 2,255 nautical miles, before initiating its descent phase. The enroute descent started 1 mile north-east of Harsault, France, and lasted 16 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 40,763 feet to 2,475 feet, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport was conducted from the south-west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 60.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,279 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 124 knots, and the touchdown point was 95 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 111 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -99 feet per minute was excellent. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 2 minutes. The total flight distance of 2,637 nautical miles was achieved in 345 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 13,260 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 06 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach profile. The threshold speed of 124 kt was slightly above the target, but still within acceptable limits. The aircraft's descent was well-managed, with a touchdown speed of 111 kt that was consistent with the planned landing configuration.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown point was 95 m beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown rate of -99 fpm was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 31 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 340 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,743 m was 44% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range for a commercial airliner. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 98.9%, reflecting the crew's excellent performance and the aircraft's good handling characteristics.
