Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 9.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 113 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 238 fpm.
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 1,698 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,698 m of the 2,587 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 723 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at London Gatwick Airport (EGKK) took approximately 6 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 26L, utilizing 63% of the available runway length to achieve a takeoff distance of 1,560 meters. Liftoff speed was reached at 176 knots, with a local temperature of 12°C and a gentle tailwind of 6 knots.
The enroute climb phase commenced overhead Charlwood, Surrey, England, where the aircraft transitioned from a low altitude of 1,278 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 34,320 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,042 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase followed, starting overhead Bonneville-la-Louvet, Normandie, France, and lasting 137 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 460 nautical miles. The descent phase began overhead Aiguafreda, Catalunya, Spain, where the aircraft descended from 34,067 feet above sea level to 2,399 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,668 feet in 24 minutes, covering 130 nautical miles. A brief level cruise phase followed, lasting 6 minutes and covering 15 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its final approach to runway 24L at Palma de Mallorca Airport (LEPA).
The final approach was conducted from the north-east, with a heading of 239.0°, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The aircraft landed on runway 24L, which had a length of 2,587 meters. The touchdown point was 308 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -210 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 23.2 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,618 meters, utilizing 63% of the available runway length. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 743 nautical miles, with a total fuel consumption of 6,089 kilograms, and a flight duration of 2 hours and 10 minutes.
The final approach to runway 24L at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport was initiated from the north east, heading 239.0° at 4 nm and 1,280 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 141 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing conditions.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 308 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 134 kt was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -210 fpm was fair, but not ideal. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 23.2 m from the centreline, which was also reflected in the runway rollout alignment. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 9 kt, contributing to a relatively stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,618 m was 63% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the misalignment issues during the rollout phase detracted from the overall performance. Considering the factors mentioned, the landing was scored 84.4%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17 °C and a wind speed of 10 kt at 230°, did not significantly impact the approach or landing.
