Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 134 m past the target, landing at 591 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 3,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 591 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 18C at KMEM, a movement that lasted 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 18C, accelerating through a takeoff distance of 1,680 m, which represented 50 % of the runway length. Liftoff was achieved at 135 kt. Ambient conditions were 30 °C with a wind from 199° at 3 kt, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind.
Climb began approximately 1 mile south of KMEM, with the airplane climbing from 1,329 ft asl to 40,897 ft asl, an altitude gain of 39,568 ft attained over 46 minutes while covering 362 nm.
The first level-cruise segment started about 1 mile southwest of Highland Heights, Kentucky, and persisted for 134 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 1,124 nm.
Descent was initiated 61 miles southeast of CSF3 Poste Montagnais Airport, Quebec, descending from 41,000 ft asl to 3,366 ft asl, a loss of 37,635 ft in 20 minutes while covering 147 nm.
A subsequent cruise phase commenced roughly 37 miles southwest of CYYR Goose Bay Airport, lasting 8 minutes and covering 32 nm.
The final approach to runway 08 at CYYR was flown from the southwest on a heading of 55.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,300 ft agl.
The aircraft touched down on runway 08, whose length is 3,353 m, with a threshold speed recorded slightly above target at 119 kt. The touchdown point was 165 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the aircraft’s speed at touchdown was 108 kt. The vertical speed at touchdown was minus 118 fpm, and alignment with the runway centreline was very good. Local weather reported a temperature of 15 °C, wind from 289° at 3 kt, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
The landing roll measured 1,010 m, representing 30 % of the runway length, and the runway-rollout alignment was perfect.
After exiting the runway, the airplane taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,673 nm, required 214 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 8,681 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 entered the final approach to runway 08 at CYYR Goose Bay Airport from the south-west on a heading of 55.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,300 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft’s speed was slightly above target at 119 kt and the threshold height was good. The flare produced a touchdown point 165 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 108 kt and a smooth touchdown rate of minus 118 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The landing covered a total distance of 1,010 m, representing 30 % of the 3,353 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather was 15 °C, wind 3 kt from 289 °, with a 2 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt tailwind.
Maintain the target threshold speed to reduce the slight excess over the desired value and aim to touch down closer to the designated touchdown zone; these minor adjustments will help preserve the high 98.5 % score while further optimizing runway usage.
