Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 219 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 221 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,819 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,819 m of the 3,039 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 527 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 35R at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,207 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 9°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 337°. The crosswind was negligible, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile southwest of Casorate Sempione in Lombardia, Italy, and the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 527 meters above sea level to 11,174 meters above sea level, an increase of 10,647.3 meters, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 63 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south of Trun in Kanton Graubunden, Switzerland. This phase lasted for 32 minutes and covered a distance of 215 nautical miles. The enroute descent began overhead Sankt Aldegund in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, and the aircraft descended from 11,101 meters above sea level to 578 meters above sea level, a decrease of 10,523.6 meters, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 72 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at EBLG Liège Airport was made from the north-east, with a heading of 226.0° at 4 nautical miles and 387.4 meters above ground level. The landing on runway 22L was successful, with a touchdown point 109 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots, while the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -1.5 meters per second, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 7°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 170°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,736 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 359 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 85 minutes. The aircraft used 3,368 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EBLG Liège Airport, achieving a score of 97.5%. The final approach to runway 22L was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 226.0° at an altitude of 387.4 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 109 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit too much force during the landing. The touchdown rate of -1.5 meters per second was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 7°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots from a direction of 170°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were favorable for a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,736 meters was 57% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot maintaining control throughout the landing and rollout phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and landing distance.
