Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 712 m against the 457 m aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
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.

3 landings
The flight is kept as it was recorded: it ends when the engine is shut down, so a landing with the rotors turning is a stop along the way, not a new flight.
| # | Where | Into flight | Touchdown | Ground speed | Sideways | On the ground |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | LSZC · Buochs Airport | 10:57 | 547 ft/min | 20.0 kt | 1.7 kt | 0:14 |

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up and glideslope 4.3° against the runway's 3°.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 30 kt FAST on the reference speed of 137 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,741 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 712 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320neo taxied from the parking area for 8 minutes, covering 4 nm, and departed from runway 08R at KMIA Miami International Airport. Take-off used 1,794 m (56 % of the runway) with rotation at 150 kt. The local weather was 34 °C, wind 14 kt from 100°, giving a 3 kt crosswind and a 13 kt headwind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 24 seconds, averaging 1,990 fpm and reaching 165 kt at the top. The climb continued from 958 ft asl to 39,000 ft asl in 26 minutes, covering 165 nm, beginning 1 mile south-west of Brownsville. Cruise at 39,000 ft asl lasted 93 minutes, covering 695 nm, starting 15 miles south-east of Andros Town.
Descent from 38,904 ft asl to 4,148 ft asl took 25 minutes over 126 nm, beginning at latitude 15.0173806, longitude -70.8758525. Level flight at 4,000 ft asl for 8 minutes covered 28 nm, starting 31 miles north-west of Tanki Leendert. A further descent from 3,881 ft asl to 1,611 ft asl lasted 8 minutes over 25 nm, beginning 7 miles west of Oranjestad.
Final approach to runway 11 at TNCA Queen Beatrix International Airport descended from 1,597 ft agl to 58 ft agl in 107 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for landing flap, sink rate, centreline, and wings level; they were not met for gear down, glideslope, and speed (each at one gate). The landing gear was lowered at 1,369 ft agl at 167 kt, and final flap position 5 was selected at 465 ft agl at 168 kt.
Touchdown occurred on runway 11, whose length is 2,741 m. The threshold height of 57 ft agl was slightly above target, while the threshold speed of 134 kt was good. The aircraft touched down 287 m beyond the touchdown zone at 125 kt, with a rate of -216 fpm (fair). The touchdown point was 5.2 m off centreline. The flare was described as great, though the pitch was pumped up and down. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,132 m (41 % of the runway) and rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area for 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The flight covered 1,050 nm in 170 minutes and used 5,307 kg of fuel. Local weather at landing was 32 °C with wind 20 kt from 090°, giving a 5 kt crosswind and a 19 kt headwind.
