Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 130 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 141 kt, 11 kt above the 130 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 130 kt at the threshold.
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 3,023 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 498 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 08 at CYPA Prince Albert Glass Field. The takeoff distance was 814 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 0°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 240°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of CYPA Prince Albert Glass Field. The climb took 42 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 2,482 feet above sea level to 38,887 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,405 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 352 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 23 miles west of CZGR Little Grand Rapids Airport. This phase lasted for 69 minutes and covered a distance of 655 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 26 miles north of Capreol. The descent took 10 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 39,042 feet above sea level to 3,062 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,981 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 245 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south east of Vanier. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 6 miles north of Metcalfe. The descent took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 2,558 feet above sea level to 1,621 feet above sea level, a decrease of 937 feet. The final descent covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 32 at CYOW Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport, approaching from the south east. The heading was 304.0°, and the aircraft was at an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 32, which had a length of 3,023 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 142 knots.
The touchdown point was 81 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -233 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 294°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 925 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft then began its taxiing period from the runway to the parking, which took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,271 nautical miles, and the flight took 131 minutes. The aircraft used 6,664 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (CYOW) on runway 32. The final approach was executed from the southeast, aligning with a heading of 304.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a high level of precision, achieving a score of 99.3% for the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 81 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The threshold speed was significantly higher than the target speed, reaching 142 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed of 124 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -233 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a relatively smooth descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 294°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. Despite these conditions, the runway touchdown alignment was deemed very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway.
The total landing distance of 925 meters was 31% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of precision and control. However, there were some minor deviations from the target speeds and touchdown point, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
