MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 219 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 219 fpm next time
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 1,841 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,841 m of the 2,574 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 543 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-900 taxied from the parking area to runway 27R at KATL, a movement that lasted 11 minutes and covered 2 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 27R at KATL, accelerating over a takeoff distance of 1,805 m (50 % of the runway). Rotation was achieved at 152 kt. Ambient temperature was 26 °C with wind from 230° at 4 kt, including a 3 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
Climb began approximately 1 mile southwest of College Park, Georgia, with the airplane climbing from 2,047 ft MSL to 31,980 ft MSL, an increase of 29,933 ft achieved in 24 minutes while covering 165 nm.
Level cruise was established about 4 miles northeast of Phil Campbell, Alabama, and was maintained for 18 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 140 nm.
A subsequent climb segment started 2 miles west of Edmondson, Arkansas, raising the aircraft from 32,261 ft MSL to 33,576 ft MSL, a gain of 1,314 ft in 2 minutes over a distance of 11 nm.
The next cruise phase commenced roughly 6 miles south of Parkin, Arkansas, lasting 189 minutes and covering 1,394 nm.
Descent began 12 miles south of Mammoth Lakes, California, with the airplane descending from 33,575 ft MSL to 1,413 ft MSL, a loss of 32,162 ft in 25 minutes while traversing 142 nm.
At KSJC the crew executed a go-around on runway 30R at an altitude of 542 ft AGL, aborting the initial approach before later re-establishing a final approach.
The final approach to runway 30R at KSJC continued from 1,390 ft AGL down to 98 ft AGL in 90 seconds; the approach scored on the stabilization gates.
Landing was performed on runway 30R, whose total length is 2,574 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 141 kt, and touchdown occurred 125 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 137 kt. The vertical speed at touchdown was minus 220 fpm, and runway alignment was perfect. Local conditions were 16 °C with wind from 140° at 6 kt, a tailwind component of 6 kt and no crosswind. The aircraft required a landing distance of 1,759 m, representing 68 % of the runway.
Runway rollout proceeded with perfect alignment throughout the deceleration phase.
After landing, the airplane taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,939 nm, required 294 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 12,922 kg of fuel.
