Flight Score
Arrival
Apply small, early rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline from touchdown onward.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 5.4 m off the centreline during the landing roll, and by touchdown the offset had grown to 4.9 m. A centreline deviation that appears on landing usually carries through to a larger offset at touchdown.
Watch for: Centreline marker: aircraft tracking straight over the runway centreline, not drifting to either side.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 44.9 kt FAST on the reference speed of 121 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,155 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,155 m of the 3,339 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 462 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport in 4 minutes, covering 1 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 08R with a take-off roll of 2,322 m (57 % of the runway). Rotation occurred at 120 kt. The local weather reported a temperature of 11 °C, wind 3 kt from 039°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 17 seconds, averaging 2,684 fpm and reaching 179 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 2,415 ft asl to 40,998 ft asl in 40 minutes, covering 315 nm while remaining overhead Munich.
Level cruise was held at 40,200 ft asl for 68 minutes, covering 563 nm, beginning about 10 nm south of Kljuc.
Descent began from 39,304 ft asl to 1,790 ft asl in 14 minutes, covering 91 nm, starting 15 nm west of Plaka.
Final approach to runway 29 at LGSA Chania International Airport descended from 1,369 ft agl to 68 ft agl in 93 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, and wings level; the speed check was not met at one gate. Configuration was landing gear down at 8,378 ft agl and 290 kt, and final flap position 8 at 1,334 ft agl and 156 kt.
Landing on runway 29 was performed with a good threshold height. Threshold speed was 126 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred 49 m beyond the touchdown zone at 116 kt, with a smooth rate of -101 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 8.1 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was temperature 24 °C, wind 3 kt from 099°, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 3 kt tailwind. No bounce occurred.
Total landing distance was 2,076 m (62 % of the runway). Runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 m from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to parking in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 977 nm in 129 minutes and used 5,463 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 25 at EGNT Newcastle Airport, showcasing a commendable approach quality. The aircraft descended from 1,326 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, heading 245.0°, and aligned itself with the runway for a smooth touchdown. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots, indicating a minor deviation from the optimal landing parameters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 137 knots, but the touchdown rate was impressive at -98 feet per minute (fpm), demonstrating excellent control and stability. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline position. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a negligible wind of 1 knot at 116°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot, posing no significant challenges to the pilot.
The total landing distance of 1,508 meters was 71% of the runway length, indicating a satisfactory rollout performance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline position throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 98.8%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot.
