Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 10 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 4°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline and speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,620 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,620 m of the 3,312 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 691 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Brussels Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey on runway 25R, taking off with a distance of 1,406 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots, with a local temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots. As it departed the Belgian airspace, the aircraft climbed to an altitude of 30,209 feet above sea level, a gain of 29,064 feet in just 13 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles.
The flight continued with a series of enroute climbs and level cruises, with the aircraft reaching altitudes of up to 36,968 feet above sea level. Notably, the climb from 30,740 feet to 36,968 feet, a gain of 6,228 feet, was achieved in just 9 minutes, covering 63 nautical miles. The aircraft also experienced several level cruises, including a 9-minute period at an altitude of 36,977 feet above sea level, covering 197 nautical miles. As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its descent, eventually touching down on runway 04R at Venice Marco Polo Airport, with a total landing distance of 1,536 meters, or 46% of the runway.
The landing was characterized by a slightly misaligned runway touchdown position, with the aircraft 4.2 meters off the centerline. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 532 nautical miles, with a flight time of 77 minutes and a fuel consumption of 5,109 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 04R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport, displaying a good threshold height. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 138 kt, slightly below the target. The touchdown point was 272 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The touchdown speed of 122 kt was within acceptable limits, while the touchdown rate of -203 fpm was fair, suggesting a moderate deceleration.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the 7 kt crosswind and 2 kt headwind. However, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 °C and wind at 7 kt from 119 °, were generally favorable for the landing. The total landing distance of 1,536 meters, accounting for 46% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
The rollout phase was marked by very good alignment, with the aircraft staying on course. Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-800 was satisfactory, with a score of 94.2%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal, the aircraft's handling and control were adequate, and the crew's skills were demonstrated in navigating the challenging conditions.
