Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 265 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
See Arrival Landing
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,404 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 352 m touchdown sits inside 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 06L at Montréal / Saint-Hubert Airport (CYHU). The takeoff distance was 942 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -4°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 30°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile west of Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, Quebec, Canada. The climb took 39 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,093 feet above sea level to 39,289 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 339 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles north of CCC5 Havelock, New Brunswick/Nouveau-Brunswick, Canada. This phase lasted for 206 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 2,441 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 38 miles southwest of Cascais, Distrito de Lisboa, Portugal. The descent took 18 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 39,064 feet above sea level to 4,851 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 142 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Santa Luzia, Distrito de Faro, Portugal. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 5 miles southeast of Fuzeta, Distrito de Faro, Portugal. The descent took 3 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 4,492 feet above sea level to 1,360 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at Faro Airport (LPFR) was made from the east, with a heading of 280.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,238 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28, which had a length of 2,404 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 129 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 351 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 123 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -221 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 300°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 798 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 2,945 nautical miles, taking 275 minutes and using 13,185 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at LPFR Faro Airport, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The final approach to runway 28 was conducted from the east, heading 280.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,238 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 129 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 351 meters, which is within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 123 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -221 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots from 300°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which made the landing process relatively straightforward. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and consistent approach path.
The total landing distance of 798 meters was 33% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the braking phase and were able to bring it to a stop in a stable and controlled manner. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated good skills and judgment in executing the approach and landing.
