MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 52 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 52 ft, 7.4 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 269 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
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 1,973 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,973 m of the 3,193 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 519 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
