Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 184 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 165 kt against a target of 184 kt, running 19 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 184 kt.
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 59 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 59 ft, 14 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 462 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from SLLP El Alto International Airport in La Paz, Bolivia, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then initiated its departure roll on runway 28, utilizing 62% of the 2,469-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 139 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 19°C, with a gentle tailwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from La Paz, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 14,002 feet above sea level to 37,014 feet in a mere 34 minutes, covering a distance of 265 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a 56-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft covered an additional 486 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 25 miles southwest of San Pedro de Ycuamandiyu Airport in Paraguay, with the aircraft descending from 36,999 feet to 2,091 feet in 28 minutes, covering 202 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at SGES Aeropuerto Internacional Guaraní was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft aligning perfectly with the runway.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 23 at SGES Aeropuerto Internacional Guaraní, with a touchdown point located 46 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly above the optimal threshold speed, but the aircraft's touchdown rate of -78 feet per minute was excellent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance of 1,027 meters accounted for 30% of the 3,395-meter runway. Following a taxiing time of 1 minute, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 961 nautical miles and utilizing 6,089 kilograms of fuel in the process, which took a total of 124 minutes.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down smoothly on runway 23 at SGES Aeropuerto Internacional Guaraní, showcasing exceptional approach quality. The aircraft descended from 1,270 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning itself with the heading of 221.0°. The approach was characterized by a stable and controlled descent, culminating in a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 136 knots, registering at 133 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -78 feet per minute (fpm) was exemplary, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown point was located 46 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating precise control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots, contributed to a smooth landing.
The aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment along the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,027 meters, accounting for 30% of the runway length, was well within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was deemed 100.0% successful, reflecting the crew's exceptional skill and adherence to standard operating procedures.
