Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 67 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 67 ft, 22 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
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.
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 3,570 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 554 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 09, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 717 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 142 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 12°C, with a gentle headwind of 3 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from Amsterdam, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 11 minutes, during which time it ascended from 980 feet above sea level to 26,744 feet, an increase of 25,763 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 69 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 198 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place approximately 2 miles north of Neerpelt, Belgium. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile south of Tendon, France, and continued for 18 minutes, during which time it descended from 26,769 feet to 2,662 feet, a decrease of 24,107 feet. This descent phase covered a distance of 113 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Geneva Cointrin International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 22, which it executed from the northeast, heading 225.0° at an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 3,570 meters, and touched down 142 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 122 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -62 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 386 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 3,601 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 59 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 22 at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport, having approached from the north east at a heading of 225.0°. The aircraft was at 4 nautical miles and 1,257 feet above ground level when it began its descent. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 129 knots, which was within the acceptable range.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down 142 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 122 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended touchdown speed. However, the touchdown rate of -62 feet per minute was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8°C and a light wind of 4 knots at 79°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,066 meters was 30% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 98.8%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
