MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 137 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 199 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,354 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 870 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 21 at EDFH Frankfurt-Hahn Airport, a movement that lasted 7 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 21, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 4,252 ft, representing 37 % of the runway, and lifted off at 148 kt. Ambient temperature was 81 °F, wind 5 kt from 30°, with a 0 kt crosswind and a 5 kt tailwind.
Climb commenced overhead Lautzenhausen, Germany, with the airplane climbing from 2,626 ft asl to 36,529 ft asl, a gain of 33,903 ft achieved in 26 minutes while covering 197 nm.
The first cruise segment began overhead La Riviere-Drugeon, France, and was maintained for 30 minutes, during which 245 nm were flown.
Descent started overhead Lezignan-la-Cèbe, France, descending from 36,999 ft asl to 4,998 ft asl, a loss of 32,001 ft in 14 minutes and covering 95 nm.
A second cruise segment originated 5 miles west of Camos, Spain, lasting 19 minutes and covering 90 nm.
The final descent began 8 miles south of Vilanova i la Geltru, Spain, with altitude decreasing from 4,519 ft asl to 1,198 ft asl, a reduction of 3,321 ft in 5 minutes over 18 nm.
The aircraft entered final approach to runway 02 at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport from the south, on a heading of 19.0° at 4 nm and 1,177 ft agl.
Landing was executed on runway 02, whose length is 8,354 ft. The threshold speed was 136 kt. Touchdown occurred 879 ft down the runway at a speed of 131 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 186 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Local weather reported temperature 81 °F, wind 5 kt from 30°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 5 kt headwind. Total landing distance measured 4,285 ft, representing 51 % of the runway.
Runway rollout continued with perfect alignment, completing the landing phase.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a movement that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total of 653 nm, required 108 minutes, and consumed 10,213 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 established a final approach to runway 02 at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport from the south, tracking a heading of 19.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,177 ft agl. Local weather reported a temperature of 81 °F, wind 5 kt at 30 °, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 5 kt headwind.
At the threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 136 kt. The flare proceeded without noted deviation.
Touchdown occurred 879 ft down the runway, with a touchdown speed of 131 kt that was a little fast, a good touchdown rate of minus 186 fpm, and perfect runway touchdown alignment.
The aircraft rolled out on runway 02, which is 8,354 ft long, covering a total landing distance of 4,285 ft, 51 % of runway, and maintained perfect rollout alignment.
Reduce the touchdown speed slightly to bring it closer to the optimal value, which will further shorten the landing distance and tighten the overall score.
