Flight Score
Departure
Add climb power and ease the pitch slightly to accelerate back to the target climb speed.
What happened: Climb speed during the third climb segment ran slow of the target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: the target climb speed throughout the climb segments.
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.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,695 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,695 m of the 3,142 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 518 m past the threshold — beyond 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 approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 787-9, then departed from runway 05L at Manchester Airport (EGCC). The takeoff distance was 1,628 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 239 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind was 15 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile west of Cheadle Hulme, a borough in Stockport, England. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,191 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 40,486 feet, an increase of 39,295 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 147 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles east of Sea Palling in Norfolk, England. This phase lasted for 251 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 780 nautical miles. The enroute descent began overhead Sibenik, a city in Croatia, and lasted for 28 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 41,295 feet to 1,801 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 11 at Dubrovnik Ruđer Bošković Airport (LDDU) was made from the northwest, with a heading of 118.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 3,142 meters. The touchdown point was 103 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots and a touchdown rate of -395 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 23°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 300 degrees.
The crosswind was minimal at 0 knots, while the tailwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,615 meters, accounting for 51% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 1,055 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 152 minutes. The aircraft used 12,771 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 787-9 aircraft successfully landed at LDDU Dubrovnik Ruđer Bošković Airport, with a final approach score of 92.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north-west, heading 118.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed on runway 11, which has a length of 3,142 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 142 knots. The touchdown point was 103 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -395 feet per minute was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 300°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,615 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating a well-executed approach and landing.
However, there was a slight misalignment during the runway rollout, with the aircraft deviating from the centerline by 10.9 meters. This is a minor issue, but it could be improved upon to achieve a more precise alignment. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
