Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 59 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 59 ft, 14 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,652 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 405 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 30 at Edmonton International Airport (CYEG) in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The takeoff distance was 1,305 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 150 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 knots. The enroute climb started over CYEG and took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,332 feet above sea level to 39,272 feet, an increase of 35,940 feet in 44 minutes, covering a distance of 329 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 10 miles east of Frampton Airport (MT97) in Noxon, Montana, and lasted for 118 minutes, covering a distance of 804 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 2 miles east of Apple Valley Airport (KAPV) in Apple Valley, California, and descended from 38,634 feet to 1,749 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24R at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station - Mitscher Field (KNKX) was made from the east, heading 255.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 125 knots and a touchdown distance of 405 meters, which was 24% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was fair at -208 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 17°C temperature. The total landing distance was 893 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,242 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 172 minutes. The aircraft used 7,551 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KNKX Miramar Marine Corps Air Station - Mitscher Field, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach to runway 24R was executed from the east, heading 255.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's performance during the approach was impressive, with a score of 99.8%. This indicates that the pilot adhered to standard operating procedures and maintained a high level of situational awareness throughout the approach. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 133 knots was also within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was equally impressive. The touchdown distance of 405 meters was well within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 125 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent rate.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17°C, did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 893 meters, which accounted for only 24% of the runway length, was also impressive. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision during the landing, resulting in a short and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, further demonstrating the pilot's skill and proficiency in landing the aircraft.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800's landing at KNKX Miramar Marine Corps Air Station - Mitscher Field was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing procedure. The pilot's performance was exceptional, and the aircraft's performance was well within the acceptable range.
