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 7.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 142 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 153 kt, 11 kt above 142 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 142 kt at the threshold.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without 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 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,268 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,268 m of the 3,707 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 940 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 35 at LATI Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa, also known as Rinas (Tirana, Albania). The takeoff distance was 1,657 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 103 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of the airport and reaching a height of 34,134 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 106 nautical miles and took 17 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 32,984 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles southeast of Gacko (Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina). This phase lasted for 45 minutes and covered a distance of 340 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Neuhofen an der Ybbs (Niederoesterreich, Austria). The descent phase covered a distance of 125 nautical miles and took 29 minutes, with a decrease in altitude of 32,337 feet.
The final approach to runway 06 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague was made from the southwest, heading 65.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,318 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway length of 3,707 meters, with a threshold height of 79 feet above ground level, which was well above the target. The threshold speed was also well above the target at 153 knots. The touchdown point was 495 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 144 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -468 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots at 60 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 14 knots. The total landing distance was 2,158 meters, which is 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 579 nautical miles, and the flight took 105 minutes, using 3,900 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague, achieving an overall score of 83.2%. The final approach to runway 06 was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 65.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,318 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 495 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance considering the runway length of 3,707 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 144 knots was slightly above the target, indicating that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -468 feet per minute (fpm) was also considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a more abrupt touchdown than desired.
Despite these minor issues, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -4°C and a wind speed of 15 knots at 60°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 14 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the pilot was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 2,158 meters was 58% of the available runway length, which is a relatively safe margin. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, while there were some minor issues with the landing, the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and control, resulting in a successful and safe landing at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague.
