Flight Score
Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 242 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
See Arrival Landing
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,559 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 887 ft touchdown sits inside 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 10 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 35 at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,015 feet, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 74°F and winds of 10 knots at 299°. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Moreira in the Distrito do Porto, Portugal. The climb took 11 minutes and covered 43 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 1,206 feet above sea level to 29,580 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles southeast of Castro Daire in the Distrito de Viseu, Portugal. This phase lasted for 46 minutes and covered 362 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles north of Fabara in Aragon, Spain. The descent took 28 minutes and covered 93 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing from 29,077 feet above sea level to 1,272 feet.
The final approach to runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 246.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,253 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at 28 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 24R, which has a length of 9,559 feet. The touchdown distance was 884 feet, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -225 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 77°F and winds of 18 knots at 240°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 18 knots. The total landing distance was 3,627 feet, which is 38% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 513 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 1 hour and 11 minutes. The aircraft used 11,565 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 246.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and speed, indicating a high level of control and precision.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 884 feet, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -225 feet per minute (fpm). This is considered fair, but not ideal.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 77°F and a headwind of 18 knots at 240°. The crosswind was minimal, at 2 knots, which further contributed to the smooth landing. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a few minor areas for improvement.
