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 75 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 75 ft, 30 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,903 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 467 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 04 at TVSA Argyle International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,307 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 40 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from an initial altitude of 944 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 36,991 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 213 nautical miles, took 33 minutes to complete. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 219 minutes and covered a distance of 1,906 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a specific location defined by latitude 15.7849562 and longitude -58.645464.
The enroute descent phase began 60 miles southwest of GVSV São Pedro Airport in São Pedro, Cape Verde. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 36,883 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 2,985 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,898 feet in just 20 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 134 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a brief level cruise phase, lasting only 3 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles, before beginning its final approach to runway 03 at GVNP Nelson Mandela International Airport.
The final approach was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 22.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,488 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 40 degrees. The aircraft landed on runway 03, with a touchdown point located 48 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 123 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -140 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 903 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,268 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 281 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 13,390 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at GVNP Nelson Mandela International Airport, achieving a score of 99.1%. The final approach to runway 03 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 22.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,488 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 130 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown point was located 48 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun but still within a safe margin. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was also deemed satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -140 feet per minute was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 40°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 8 knots, which was effectively managed by the pilot. The runway length of 1,903 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 903 meters, which was 47% of the available runway.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
