Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 11 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 141 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 150 kt, 9 kt above the 141 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 141 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 2,108 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,108 m of the 2,754 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 448 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 17 at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport, a movement that lasted 9 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 17, the Boeing 737-800 accelerated over a takeoff distance of 2,377 m, representing 75 % of the runway, and lifted off at 163 kt; ambient conditions were 21 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 144°, including a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead LPPR, with the aircraft ascending from 1,123 ft asl to 35,985 ft asl, a gain of 34,861 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 118 nm.
Level cruise began 5 miles north-east of Silleda, Galicia, Spain, and persisted for 82 minutes, during which 637 nm were flown.
Descent was initiated over Vaulx-Vraucourt, Hauts-de-France, France, descending from 35,143 ft asl to 1,402 ft asl, a loss of 33,741 ft in 30 minutes and spanning 161 nm.
The final approach to runway 21 at EHEH Eindhoven Airport involved a descent from 1,390 ft agl to 76 ft agl in 96 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 21 was executed with a threshold speed slightly above target at 150 kt; touchdown occurred 448 m down the runway at 149 kt with a vertical speed of minus 153 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was very good; runway length is 2,754 m.
Rollout covered a total landing distance of 2,028 m, equivalent to 74 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a taxi-in that required 10 minutes and traversed 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 926 nm, required 147 minutes, and consumed 5,358 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 conducted the final approach to runway 21 at EHEH Eindhoven Airport with a stabilised profile at the 1,000 ft gate; gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed were all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,390 ft agl to 76 ft agl in 96 seconds, maintaining the required parameters throughout the approach and achieving an overall landing score of 99.0 %.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a threshold speed slightly above target at 150 kt. Touchdown distance was good at 448 m, touchdown speed at 149 kt was a little fast, and touchdown rate was good at minus 153 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the ambient temperature was 9 °C.
Touchdown occurred 448 m down the runway with a speed of 149 kt, a vertical rate of minus 153 fpm and very good alignment, confirming the parameters recorded in the preceding phase.
Rollout continued for a total landing distance of 2,028 m, representing 74 % of the 2,754 m runway, and runway rollout alignment remained very good.
Minor refinements should focus on reducing the threshold and touchdown speeds to meet the target values more closely, as the current speeds are slightly above the desired limits. Maintaining the excellent alignment and rate already demonstrated will preserve the high overall performance.
