Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 113 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 268 fpm.
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: off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,402 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 607 m past the threshold — beyond 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 13R at KSAT San Antonio International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,015 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 180 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was also 4 knots. After departing from San Antonio, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 40 minutes and covered a distance of 280 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,816 feet above sea level to 38,940 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,124 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 106 minutes and covered a distance of 893 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a specific location with coordinates of 27.0884149 latitude and -93.9069544 longitude. After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 4 miles southwest of Baragua, Cuba. The descent took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 170 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 39,146 feet above sea level to 4,619 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,527 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. This phase took place 11 miles west of El Cobre, Cuba. Following this, the aircraft began another descent phase, which started 10 miles southwest of El Cobre. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 4,497 feet above sea level to 1,466 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,031 feet.
The final approach to runway 10 at MUCU Antonio Maceo International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 86.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,243 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 189 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 118 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -132 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 0 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,055 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft took 1 minute to taxi to the parking, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,367 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 163 minutes. The aircraft used 8,027 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at MUCU Antonio Maceo International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 10 was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading at 86.0° and at an altitude of 1,243 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway. This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evident from the subsequent events.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 118 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 129 knots. The touchdown point was located 189 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun but still within a safe margin. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -132 feet per minute, demonstrating the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 0°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots, making the landing even more challenging but ultimately successful. The runway length of 3,402 meters provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance of 1,055 meters was 31% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. This is a testament to the aircraft's performance and the pilot's expertise in executing a precise and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at MUCU Antonio Maceo International Airport was a success, with a high score of 97.8% achieved. The combination of favorable weather conditions, precise approach and landing techniques, and the aircraft's performance all contributed to a safe and efficient landing.
