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 10°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 1,755 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,755 m of the 3,242 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 296 m 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 30 at LJLJ Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,182 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 229 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Sencur, Slovenia. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,269 feet above sea level to 16,989 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,720 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 1 mile southwest of Podturn pri Dol, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, beginning 1 mile west of Karlovac, Croatia. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 17,005 feet above sea level to 1,636 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,369 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at LDZA Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 227.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 22, which had a length of 3,242 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 145 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 295 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 141 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -308 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind was 0 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,670 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 143 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 37 minutes. The aircraft used 1,776 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LDZA Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 22 was executed from the north east, with a heading of 227.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was characterized by a high score of 99.0%, indicating a nearly flawless execution of the landing procedure.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 141 kt, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 145 kt. However, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 295 meters was within the acceptable range, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 2 kt from 210°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight headwind of 1 kt, which did not affect the landing performance. The total landing distance of 1,670 meters was 51% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high level of precision and control, and the aircraft was able to stop safely within the designated runway area.
