Flight Score
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 261 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 261 fpm next time
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,607 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,607 m of the 2,695 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 389 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-900 taxied from the parking area to runway 29 at UWKD Kazan International Airport, covering 1 nm in 6 minutes.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 29, achieving a takeoff distance of 1,631 m 44 % of runway and lifting off at 168 kt. Local weather at the time was temperature 12 °C with wind 4 kt from 250°, including a 3 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
En-route climb began 1 mile north-west of UWKD, climbing from 1,396 ft asl to 32,207 ft asl - an increase of 30,811 ft - over 18 minutes while covering 124 nm.
The first level cruise started 7 miles east of Grakhovo (Udmurtskaya Respublika, Russia) and lasted 22 minutes, during which 175 nm were flown.
Descent commenced 13 miles south-west of Sarana (Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia), descending from 31,880 ft asl to 3,909 ft asl - a decrease of 27,971 ft - in 22 minutes and covering 126 nm.
A subsequent level cruise began 10 miles south of Verkhneye Dubrovo (Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia), lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
The next descent started 5 miles south-east of Verkhneye Dubrovo, descending from 3,784 ft asl to 2,039 ft asl - a loss of 1,745 ft - in 3 minutes and covering 8 nm.
Final approach to runway 26L at USSS Koltsovo Airport was executed from the east, on a heading of 274.0° at 4 nm and 1,280 ft agl.
Landing on runway 26L, which is 2,695 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 154 kt. Touchdown occurred at 391 m down the runway, at a speed of 153 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 375 fpm and very good runway touchdown alignment. Local weather at Koltsovo was temperature 8 °C with wind 12 kt from 300°, including a 5 kt crosswind and an 11 kt headwind.
The total landing distance recorded was 1,525 m, representing 57 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 445 nm, lasted 76 minutes, and consumed 3,868 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-900, scoring 97.4%, executed the final approach to runway 26L at USSS Koltsovo Airport from the east, on a heading of 274.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,280 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
Runway 26L measures 2,695 m and presented a good threshold height. The threshold speed was good at 154 kt. Local weather was 8 °C with wind 12 kt at 300 °, including a 5 kt crosswind component and an 11 kt headwind component.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 153 kt, noted as a little fast, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 375 fpm. The touchdown distance was good at 391 m and runway touchdown alignment was very good. Total landing distance was 1,525 m, representing 57 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect.
Reduce the touchdown speed slightly toward the target to lessen the firm rate, and refine flare timing to achieve a smoother touchdown while maintaining the excellent alignment already demonstrated.
