Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 179 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 37 kt fast at 216 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 179 kt in 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.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,834 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,834 m of the 3,192 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 598 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from LPFR Faro Airport, where the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 28, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 1,104 meters, or 46% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 150 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 21°C, with a gentle headwind of 3 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from Faro, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 985 feet above sea level to 34,998 feet, an increase of 34,013 feet in 22 minutes, while covering 152 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted 65 minutes and spanned 492 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 35,000 feet to 2,904 feet in 26 minutes, while covering 136 nautical miles. A brief level cruise phase ensued, lasting only 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its final descent, decreasing its altitude from 2,491 feet to 1,497 feet in 2 minutes, while covering 4 nautical miles.
The Boeing 737-800 then commenced its final approach to runway 07 at GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport, aligning itself with the runway from the southwest at a heading of 69.0°. The aircraft touched down 180 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 134 knots, with a touchdown rate of -279 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,751 meters, or 55% of the runway. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 799 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 2 hours and 8 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 5,850 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 07 at GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision. The aircraft descended from 1,286 ft agl to a good threshold height, aligning itself with the runway centerline. The threshold speed of 143 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled approach.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down at a speed of 134 kt, which was within the desired parameters. However, the touchdown rate of -279 fpm was slightly higher than optimal, resulting in a fair assessment. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the touchdown phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and a headwind of 8 kt, contributed to a relatively stable and controlled approach.
The Boeing 737-800 continued its rollout, maintaining a very good alignment with the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,751 m, which accounted for 55% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 96.0% reflecting the aircraft's good control and precision throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
