Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,144 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 523 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-600 began with a short taxi from the parking area to runway 13 at FHAW Ascension Aux AB. The takeoff roll was only 840 meters, representing 28% of the total runway length. The aircraft achieved liftoff at a speed of 134 knots in relatively mild weather conditions with a temperature of 21°C and a 7 knot wind coming from 130°, resulting in a 7 knot headwind component.
Once airborne, the climb phase took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,293 feet above sea level to 40,879 feet over a distance of 244 nautical miles, lasting approximately 33 minutes. The enroute level cruise portion of the flight spanned 1,414 nautical miles and lasted for 153 minutes before the descent began.
Descending from 39,820 feet to 2,858 feet over a distance of 57 nautical miles, the aircraft prepared for landing at FOON M'vengue on runway 15. The landing was executed with a touchdown speed of 113 knots, touching down 524 meters from the threshold with a descent rate of -180 feet per minute. Weather conditions at the destination included a temperature of 23°C and calm winds.
The total landing distance on the 3,144 meter runway was 966 meters, representing 31% of the total runway length. After landing, a short taxi brought the aircraft back to the parking area to complete the flight. In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,722 nautical miles over a duration of 205 minutes, consuming 8,718 kilograms of fuel.
Congratulations on achieving a remarkable landing score of 98.8%! Your skills and precision are truly commendable. Let's dive deeper into the various phases of your landing to understand why you received such a high score.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent, indicating a steady and controlled descent towards the runway. Although your speed was slightly below target, it shows that you were focused on maintaining a safe and stable approach to the landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you displayed impressive skills with good threshold height and a very good landing flare. This suggests that you had a smooth transition from descent to touchdown, ensuring a comfortable and safe landing for both passengers and crew.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was good, and your speed was right on target, highlighting your ability to accurately control the aircraft during the critical moment of contact with the runway. It's also worth noting that your touchdown point was only 342 ft beyond the touchdown zone and your runway touchdown position was 9 ft from the centerline, demonstrating your precise handling of the aircraft during this phase.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was rated as very good, indicating a well-controlled rollout after landing. This phase is crucial for safely exiting the runway and ensuring a smooth conclusion to the landing process.
Overall, your exceptional performance in each phase of the landing operation contributed to your impressive score. Keep up the great work and continue refining your skills to maintain and even improve upon your excellent performance in future flights. Your dedication to excellence in aviation is truly inspiring.
