Flight Score
Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 282 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
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 2,736 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 401 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately one minute and covering less than one nautical mile. The aircraft then took off from runway 02 at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. With a departure roll distance of 858 meters, which constituted about 40% of the runway length, the Boeing 737-600 lifted off the ground with a liftoff speed of 146 knots.
The enroute climb started approximately one mile north of Kenner, Louisiana, where the aircraft began its ascent from an initial altitude of 1,030 feet above sea level to a level of 38,141 feet above sea level. This 37,111-feet climb was achieved over a period of 33 minutes, covering a distance of 238 nautical miles. Upon reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered its enroute level cruise phase, which lasted for 136 minutes and spanned a distance of 1,041 nautical miles. The cruise took place at a location three miles north-east of Smackover, Arkansas.
The descent began from a height of 37,929 feet above sea level, with the aircraft traveling from an area 13 miles south-west of WY06 Luckinbill Airstrip in Cody, Montana. The descent to a final altitude of 5,706 feet above sea level involved a decrease of 32,223 feet over a period of 12 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nautical miles.
The flight then entered its final approach phase, heading towards runway 12 at KBZN Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport from the north-west at an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a course of 136.0° for a distance of four nautical miles before landing on the runway.
The airplane then landed on runway 12 at KBZN Bozeman, with a runway length of 2,736 meters. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed, but the touchdown speed was slightly higher than desired. Furthermore, the touchdown rate was considered fair, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The landing distance of 915 meters, which constituted approximately 33% of the runway, was considered good, as was the runway rollout alignment in terms of perfection.
After touching down on the runway, the flight concluded with taxiing to the parking area from the runway, taking less than one minute and covering less than one nautical mile. Throughout the 185-minute journey, the aircraft covered a total distance of 1,377 nautical miles, using 8,015 kilograms of fuel in the process.
On the designated runway 12 at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (KBZN), a Boeing 737-600 successfully executed a landing operation with an exceptionally high level of proficiency. The aircraft began its final approach from a northwest direction, heading 136.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot maintained steady control as they navigated the aircraft to touch down on the runway, achieving good threshold height and utilizing slightly above-target speed to facilitate a safe transition into landing. Threshold speed of 126 knots, while slightly elevated, was within acceptable parameters for a smooth touchdown.
The landing itself proceeded in an orderly fashion, with touchdown distance of 401 meters meeting expectations, and an average speed of 117 knots upon touchdown being somewhat above the optimal threshold value. The rate of descent at 241 feet per minute was considered fair, although perhaps not entirely favorable.
Given the prevailing atmospheric conditions at the time of the landing, a relatively modest wind with a gentle tailwind of 2 knots blowing at 310° degrees posed minimal interference. As a result, the crosswind component was effectively zero, making for an uncomplicated approach phase.
Upon touch down, the aircraft proceeded with perfect runway rollout alignment, demonstrating the excellent skill of the pilots in handling and controlling the plane. The total landing distance of 915 meters accounted for approximately 33% of the runway's 2,736-meter length, showcasing the effectiveness of the pilots' landing maneuvers.
