Monitor your speed
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.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,807 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 581 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-800 began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGFF Cardiff International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,092 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 14°C with a 6 knot wind coming from 259°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The enroute climb started overhead Rhoose in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. The aircraft climbed from 1,237 feet above sea level to 34,500 feet above sea level, covering an altitude increase of 33,263 feet in 19 minutes and flying a distance of 107 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the enroute level cruise began overhead Kirdford in West Sussex, England. This segment of the flight lasted 37 minutes and covered a distance of 212 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile northeast of Wasseiges in Wallonia, Belgium. The aircraft descended from 34,632 feet above sea level to 18,202 feet above sea level, decreasing in altitude by 16,430 feet in 9 minutes and covering 62 nautical miles.
Following another brief level cruise overhead Norvenich in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, the final descent began in the same location. The aircraft descended from 18,202 feet above sea level to 2,034 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,168 feet in 18 minutes while covering 17 nautical miles.
The landing took place on runway 14L at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport, which has a runway length of 3,807 meters. The height at threshold was 15 feet above ground level, with a speed of 132 knots. The touchdown occurred 582 meters from the threshold at a speed of 128 knots, with a Vertical Speed Indicator reading of -111 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 17°C with an 8 knot wind coming from 180°, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,372 meters, which is 36% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance for this journey was 406 nautical miles, which took 84 minutes to complete. The flight consumed a total of 3,823 kilograms of fuel.
Congratulations on achieving a high aircraft landing score of 97.5%! Your approach phase was particularly impressive, with excellent glideslope alignment and slightly below target speed. This shows a great level of precision and control during the crucial phase of preparing for landing.
Moving on to the landing phase, your skills were again evident with good threshold height and a very good landing flare. This demonstrates your ability to make quick and precise adjustments as needed to ensure a smooth and safe touchdown.
In the touchdown phase, your performance was solid with a smooth touchdown rate and on-target speed. The only slight issue was the touchdown point being 158 m beyond the designated zone, but this can easily be corrected with practice and awareness. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being 5.1 m from the centerline is still within an acceptable range, but aiming for a closer alignment will further improve your overall landing proficiency.
Lastly, the rollout phase showed good runway alignment, only slightly off by 5.0 m from the centerline. This level of precision is commendable and points to your ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the final stages of the landing process.
Overall, your analysis of each phase of the landing process highlights your strengths and areas for improvement. By continuing to refine your skills and techniques, you are well on your way to consistently achieving near-perfect landing scores. Keep up the great work and strive for excellence in every aspect of your piloting abilities.
