Slow the descent speed
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.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,836 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 579 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 01 at LEMH Menorca Airport, a Boeing 737-800 aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance was 1,031 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 151 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 0 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of LEMH Menorca Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,351 feet above sea level to 38,842 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 153 nautical miles and took 22 minutes to complete, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 37,491 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 55 miles south of Mazargues, France. This phase lasted for 161 minutes and covered a distance of 470 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 2 miles south of Oisemont, France, descending from 38,545 feet above sea level to 9,473 feet above sea level. This descent phase took 23 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 2 miles south east of Selsey, England. This phase lasted for 67 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 1 mile south west of South Hayling, England, descending from 9,144 feet above sea level to 1,318 feet above sea level. This descent phase took 8 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at EGHH Bournemouth Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 256.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 26, which had a length of 1,836 meters. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 249 degrees.
The touchdown point was 164 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was also good at -170 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,427 meters, which accounted for 78% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 774 nautical miles and took 135 minutes to complete, using 5,532 kilograms of fuel in the process.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Bournemouth Airport (EGHH) on runway 26, achieving a high score of 97.2%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 256.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach speed and threshold height were well within the acceptable limits, with a threshold speed of 136 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 164 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -170 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 249°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 10 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,427 meters was 78% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll and successfully aligned with the runway centerline. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft landing safely and efficiently on runway 26 at Bournemouth Airport.
