Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,682 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 579 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 20 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) in Lisbon, Portugal. The takeoff distance was 2,171 meters, which is 70% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Alvalade in the Distrito de Lisboa region of Portugal. The climb took 37 minutes and covered a distance of 307 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,303 feet above sea level to 36,581 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,278 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of Gordaliza del Pino in the Castilla y Leon region of Spain. This phase lasted for 170 minutes and covered a distance of 1,419 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles north of Grisslehamn in the Stockholm County region of Sweden. The descent took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 167 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 36,870 feet above sea level to 2,787 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,082 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles northeast of Lempaeaelae in the Pirkanmaa region of Finland. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 3 miles west of Kangasala in the Pirkanmaa region of Finland. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 2,681 feet above sea level to 1,653 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,027 feet.
The final approach to runway 24 at EFTP Tampere-Pirkkala Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 244.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 24, which has a length of 2,682 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 143 knots. The touchdown point was 161 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 989 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,914 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 243 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 11,260 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EFTP Tampere-Pirkkala Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its flight operations. The final approach to runway 24 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 244.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, as evidenced by the aircraft's ability to maintain a smooth touchdown rate and perfect runway touchdown alignment.
The landing itself was characterized by a slightly above-target threshold speed of 143 knots, which is still within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was located 161 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this is not considered a significant deviation given the overall performance of the aircraft. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was well within the target range, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The smooth touchdown rate of -138 feet per minute (fpm) further underscores the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of -14°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 330°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft's ability to navigate these conditions and maintain perfect runway rollout alignment is a testament to its stability and the pilot's expertise.
The total landing distance of 989 meters, which accounts for 37% of the runway length, is a respectable figure considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop in a relatively short distance, minimizing the risk of overrunning the runway. Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of proficiency in flight operations, with the pilot successfully executing a smooth and controlled touchdown.
