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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,980 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 297 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a Boeing 737-600 aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at Las Américas International Airport, a process that took 4 minutes and covered approximately 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 17, with a takeoff distance of 1,065 meters, which equated to just 32% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 147 knots.
As the aircraft departed the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with no wind or crosswind present. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, commencing just one mile south of the airport. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from 1,122 feet above sea level to an altitude of 37,934 feet, a significant increase of 36,812 feet, all within 34 minutes and over a distance of 241 nautical miles.
Following the ascent, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 23 miles south of the West Caicos emergency position. This cruise lasted for an impressive 118 minutes, covering a distance of 902 nautical miles. As the aircraft continued its journey, it entered a gradual descent phase 69 miles south of Pensacola, a naval base in Florida. From an altitude of 37,712 feet, the aircraft descended to 3,040 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,673 feet, in a mere 17 minutes. The aircraft then covered a distance of 159 nautical miles.
Later on, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time for just 2 minutes, as it flew over Belle Chasse in Louisiana, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. However, this brief cruise was followed by a more pronounced descent, which began just two miles northeast of Timberlane in Louisiana. From an altitude of 3,014 feet, the aircraft descended to 1,287 feet, a decrease of 1,727 feet, over a distance of 11 nautical miles, all within 3 minutes.
The flight then commenced its final approach, aiming to land on runway 29 at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, located 4 nautical miles east of the aircraft's position. The aircraft descended to an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level and then flew a heading of 285 degrees. Once the aircraft was ready to land, it touched down at a speed of 119 knots, just 299 meters down the runway. The touchdown distance was good, but the touchdown rate was a little unsatisfactory, at -229 feet per minute.
The aircraft then rolled along the runway, its alignment being very good. The total landing distance was 766 meters, which accounted for just 26% of the runway. Once the aircraft had come to a stop, it was ready to taxi to the parking area, a process that took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,328 nautical miles, taking a total of 182 minutes. The aircraft consumed a total of 8,239 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 successfully executed a landing at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (KMSY) on runway 29. The plane, approaching from the east with a heading of 285.0° at 4 nautical miles away, descended at an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level.
The final approach was executed with a high degree of precision, scoring an impressive 99.5%. This suggests that pilots adhered closely to established procedures and the aircraft was flown to precise speeds and altitudes. Upon landing, the threshold speed was spot on at 127 kt, further showcasing the pilots' skill and attention to detail.
Another key factor in this smooth landing was the touchdown distance, which came in at 299 meters. This is a desirable outcome, as excessive distance on the runway can be a safety concern. The touchdown speed, meanwhile, was equally well managed at 119 kt, allowing the pilots to retain control and bring the aircraft to a stop in a relatively short distance.
However, there was room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate, which was fair at -229 fpm. While not exceptional, this is not typically a cause for concern, and the pilots likely aimed to balance touchdown rate with other factors such as speed and distance.
An examination of the local weather conditions at the time of landing adds context to this impressive landing. The temperature was a pleasant 27°C, while wind conditions were minimal, at 4 kt at a direction of 30°. This resulted in a relatively minor crosswind of 3 kt and a subtle tailwind of 1 kt, which is unlikely to have significantly impacted the landing. The total landing distance covered was 766 meters, accounting for just 26% of the runway. This suggests that the pilots were able to bring the aircraft to a stop efficiently, allowing them to take advantage of the available runway length.
In terms of rollout alignment, this particular landing was exceptional, with the pilots demonstrating excellent skills in keeping the aircraft on a straight path from the time of touchdown onwards.
