Flight Score
Departure
Smooth your pitch and roll inputs during the climb so the g force stays close to 0.8 g instead of spiking.
What happened: During the third climb segment the g force swung to 0.8 g, well outside the steady level flight band.
Watch for: Watch the g-meter and keep it settled near the normal one g climb band.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,828 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,828 m of the 3,989 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 630 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight, operated by a Boeing 737-800 aircraft, departed from runway 06 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport. The aircraft achieved lift-off in just 129 meters, which accounted for only 3% of the runway's length. At a lift-off speed of 147 knots, the aircraft continued to climb and gained altitude.
During the enroute climb, the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 2,211 feet above sea level to 3,852 feet, a net increase of 1,642 feet in just 3 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. After leveling out, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for approximately 2 minutes as it cruised over Manternach, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft started its descent from a pre-determined altitude of 3,986 feet above sea level to 2,930 feet, a decrease of 1,056 feet in just 2 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. Upon completing the descent, the aircraft aligned itself with the final approach path to runway 24, located at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport.
The approach phase began with a heading of 240.0° from the north-east, located 4 nautical miles away and 1,693 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway and landed smoothly, touching down 213 meters beyond the threshold of the touchdown zone. However, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly above the target speed, while the touchdown rate of -101 feet per minute remained relatively smooth.
The aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was excellent, demonstrating a precise and controlled landing. Following the touchdown, the aircraft continued its rollout, maintaining a perfect alignment with the runway. Upon completing the rollout, the total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,746 meters, which accounted for 44% of the available runway length.
The flight's total distance covered was 21 nautical miles, with a duration of approximately 8 minutes. The aircraft utilized a total of 370 kilograms of fuel during the entirety of the flight, showcasing an efficient operational profile for the Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
A Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, achieving a score of 96.2%. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 24 from the northeast, heading 240.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles (nm) and 1,693 feet above ground level (agl).
During the landing, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height, but its threshold speed was slightly above the target at 135 knots. The touchdown point was 213 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast.
The landing was characterized by a smooth touchdown rate of -101 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, showcasing the pilot's skill in navigating the aircraft onto the runway.
On the day of the landing, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a light wind of 6 knots at 310°. The crosswind component of the wind was 6 knots, while the headwind component was a relatively minor 2 knots. These conditions did not significantly impact the landing, thanks to the pilot's expertise.
The total landing distance of 1,746 meters was 44% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance, given the aircraft's size. This suggests a high degree of control and efficiency in the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a smooth and controlled application of brakes during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was an impressive demonstration of the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance.
