Flight Score
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 7.9 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 7.9 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
See Arrival Landing
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,174 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,174 ft of the 11,316 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,280 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 737-600 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau, Bahamas. This process took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 14, with a takeoff distance of 2,741 feet, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 87°F temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 80°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile southeast of the airport and continued for 10 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft climbed from 1,024 feet above sea level to 26,173 feet, an increase of 25,148 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 20 miles west of San Andros Airport on Andros Island. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 52 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 21 miles southwest of Ocean Cay Heliport on Ocean Cay. The descent from 26,116 feet to 4,550 feet took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 71 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 4 miles west of The Hammocks in Florida. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 8 miles west of Kendall West in Florida. The descent from 4,044 feet to 1,281 feet took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at Miami International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 87.0° and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 11,316 feet long. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 126 knots.
The touchdown point was 891 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 118 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -187 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 84°F temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 100°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 4,885 feet, which is 43% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 198 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 56 minutes. The aircraft used 5,408 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 09. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it was found that the threshold height was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing configuration.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 118 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown rate of -187 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 891 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline, but this did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 84°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance was 4,885 feet, which accounted for 43% of the runway length. This is a relatively normal landing distance for a Boeing 737-600 aircraft.
The runway rollout alignment was found to be very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-600 aircraft at KMIA was satisfactory, with a score of 91.6%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing configuration, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance ensured a safe and controlled landing.
