MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 3.6 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 3.6 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
See Arrival Landing
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,739 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 330 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport (CYYZ), the Boeing 737-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the end of runway 23, it initiated its departure roll, utilizing 62% of the 1,980-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 173 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 23°C, with a wind speed of 19 knots blowing from a direction of 220°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 19-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from CYYZ, it began its enroute climb 2 miles west of the airport, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,626 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 32,394 feet, a vertical increase of 30,768 feet over a distance of 108 nautical miles in 18 minutes. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 60 minutes and covered a distance of 431 nautical miles, starting 2 miles east of Willows Airport (97PA) in Cranesville, Pennsylvania. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, initially from 32,712 feet to 5,194 feet in 20 minutes and covering 111 nautical miles, before entering a brief level cruise phase 4 miles southwest of Fulton County Airport (KFTY) in Brown Field, Atlanta, Georgia, lasting 5 minutes and covering 22 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 3 miles west of Chattahoochee Air Park (4GA6) in Douglasville, Georgia, where the aircraft descended from 4,918 feet to 2,354 feet in 4 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles.
As the Boeing 737-900 approached Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL), it initiated its final approach to runway 08L from the west, maintaining a heading of 88.0° at an altitude of 1,333 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The aircraft landed on runway 08L, which was 2,738 meters in length, with a touchdown speed of 148 knots, slightly above the recommended threshold speed. The touchdown distance was 333 meters, and the aircraft's touchdown rate was -403 feet per minute, indicating a hard touchdown. Following a perfect runway rollout alignment, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 693 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 122 minutes and a fuel consumption of 5,564 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 08L at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed of 147 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance of 333 m was satisfactory, but the touchdown speed of 148 kt was slightly above the ideal, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -403 fpm.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24 °C and a moderate headwind of 9 kt, did not significantly impact the approach or landing. The crosswind component of 11 kt was also well within manageable limits. The aircraft's performance was further demonstrated by its ability to maintain a perfect runway rollout alignment, showcasing the crew's skill and control.
The overall performance of the Boeing 737-900 during the landing was impressive, with a total landing distance of 1,403 m, which represented 51% of the runway length. This achievement earned the crew a score of 98.1%, highlighting their expertise and adherence to standard operating procedures. The successful landing was a testament to the crew's ability to navigate challenging weather conditions and execute a precise approach and touchdown.
