Flight Score
Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 3.3°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 39 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 39 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 39 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,626 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,626 m of the 3,427 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 605 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 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 12 at LFOB Paris-Beauvais Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,363 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 17 knots at 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Therdonne in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The climb took 20 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,437 feet above sea level to 34,798 feet, an increase of 33,361 feet.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Dommartin-le-Saint-Pere in the Grand Est region of France and lasted 28 minutes, covering a distance of 210 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 1 mile northeast of Schiers in the Kanton Graubunden region of Switzerland. The climb took only 3 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 35,418 feet to 37,360 feet, an increase of 1,942 feet.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles south of Tarasp in the Kanton Graubunden region of Switzerland and lasted 121 minutes, covering a distance of 564 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Plasnica in the Plasnica region of Macedonia. The descent took 7 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 38,147 feet to 24,681 feet, a decrease of 13,466 feet.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile west of Exaplatanos in the Central Macedonia region of Greece and lasted only 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute descent, starting 3 miles northwest of Axos in the Central Macedonia region of Greece. The descent took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 24,670 feet to 22,730 feet, a decrease of 1,940 feet.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile southwest of Pella in the Central Macedonia region of Greece and lasted 14 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began another enroute descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Pella in the Central Macedonia region of Greece. The descent took 12 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 22,730 feet to 5,381 feet, a decrease of 17,350 feet.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile southeast of Kalamoto in the Central Macedonia region of Greece and lasted 25 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final enroute descent, starting 1 mile southeast of Galatista in the Central Macedonia region of Greece. The descent took 4 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 4,976 feet to 1,734 feet, a decrease of 3,243 feet.
The final approach to runway 28 at LGTS Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 285.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,697 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 192 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -170 feet per minute, which was also good.
However, the runway touchdown position was
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LGTS Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport, achieving a score of 90.2%. The final approach to runway 28 was initiated from the east, heading 285.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,697 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 125 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -170 fpm was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown point was located 192 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may require further analysis to determine the cause of this deviation.
The threshold height at 60 ft agl was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed of 137 kt was within the acceptable range. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 33°C and a wind speed of 6 kt from 280°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 6 kt, which may have contributed to the slight deviation from the centerline.
The total landing distance of 1,548 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.8 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.7 meters from the centerline. These deviations may require further investigation to determine the cause and to implement corrective measures to improve the accuracy of future landings.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a precise alignment with the centerline during touchdown and rollout.
