Flight Score
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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,700 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 107 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 06 at URMN Nalchik Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,263 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 130 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northwest of Nartan in Kabardino-Balkarskaya Respublika, Russia. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,347 feet above sea level to 39,081 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,733 feet in 46 minutes, covering a distance of 334 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile southeast of Dubovka in Volgograd Oblast, Russia. This phase lasted for 265 minutes and covered a distance of 1,130 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 41 miles southeast of Verkhnyaya Inta in Komi, Russia. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 39,064 feet above sea level to 2,056 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,008 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 113 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 14 miles west of Salekhard in Yamalo-Nenetskiy Avtonomnyy Okrug, Russia. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 04 at USDD Salekhard Airport was made from the southwest, heading 62.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,260 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 04 at USDD Salekhard Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 107 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots, while the touchdown rate was heavy at -686 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 50 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 687 meters, which accounted for 25% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,595 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 223 minutes. The aircraft used 9,852 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at USDD Salekhard Airport, achieving a high score of 94.4%. The final approach to runway 04 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 62.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 142 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed of 143 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 107 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -686 feet per minute was deemed heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a bit too much force.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle headwind of 6 knots at a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was minimal, at just 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 687 meters was relatively short, accounting for only 25% of the runway length. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the final approach and touchdown phases.
