Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the proper flare height before you start rotating; let the runway come up to you rather than anticipating it.
What happened: The flare began early, well above the normal flare band, and touchdown followed at 548 m past the threshold, 91 m beyond the 457 m target. Starting the flare early like this usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, then touchdown distance against 457 m.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,642 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 548 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Charles de Gaulle International Airport's runway 27L, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey with a smooth taxiing process, taking 5 minutes to cover 2 nautical miles to the runway. As the aircraft lifted off, it utilized 30% of the 1,072-meter runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 147 knots. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute level, it began its ascent from 1,323 feet above sea level to 37,003 feet, a vertical increase of 35,680 feet in 23 minutes, covering 164 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 13 minutes and covering 99 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent to a lower altitude. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease by 32,274 feet in 23 minutes, covering 160 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off for a short period, cruising at a lower altitude for 3 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles. The final descent phase saw the aircraft decrease by 2,701 feet in 3 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles, before beginning its final approach to Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport's runway 04L.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 123 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown point was 103 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the aircraft's touchdown rate was excellent at -85 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance was 1,004 meters, or 39% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 456 nautical miles, taking 74 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,662 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 04L at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 132 kt. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition into the touchdown phase. The touchdown point was 103 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. However, the touchdown speed of 123 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to the over-run.
Despite the slightly high touchdown speed, the aircraft's touchdown rate was excellent at -85 fpm, demonstrating good control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and a light wind of 3 kt at 140 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind component was minimal, with a headwind of 0 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,004 m was 39% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 99.2%, reflecting the high level of precision and control demonstrated by the pilot.
