Flight Score
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.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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 1,758 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,758 m of the 3,202 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 408 m touchdown sits inside 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 a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 35 at LATI Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa. The takeoff distance was 1,185 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 180 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile north of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,075 feet above sea level to 30,351 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,277 feet, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles east of Permet and lasted for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 183 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile south of Korinthos, Greece, and descended from 30,991 feet above sea level to 1,480 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,512 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21R at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was made from the north-east, heading 216.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,195 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 21R, which had a length of 3,202 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 144 knots. The touchdown distance was 411 meters, and the touchdown speed was 142 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -272 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 0 degrees. There was a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,684 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 403 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 67 minutes. The aircraft used 3,286 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV) on runway 21R. The final approach was executed from the north east, heading 216.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,195 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a high level of precision throughout the approach, achieving a score of 99.3%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 142 knots, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 144 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 411 meters was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -272 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.6 meters, which may have been due to minor deviations in the aircraft's flight path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a negligible wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 0°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both minimal, at 1 knot each.
The total landing distance of 1,684 meters was 53% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, despite minor deviations in the touchdown position and speed.
