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.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,805 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,805 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 668 m past the threshold — beyond 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 08L at EDDM Munich Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,188 meters, which is 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 0 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind, making the takeoff conditions ideal. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of EDDM Munich Airport, rising from an altitude of 2,511 feet above sea level to 28,963 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 109 nautical miles, took 17 minutes.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 82 nautical miles. The cruise phase began overhead Krasne Udoli, a location in the Karlovarsky kraj region of the Czech Republic. Following the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started overhead Hirschfeld, a location in the Brandenburg region of Germany. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 60 nautical miles, during which the aircraft dropped from an altitude of 28,959 feet above sea level to 1,437 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 24L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 249.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 3,986 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 146 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -272 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 90 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a tailwind of 1 knot was present. The touchdown point was 250 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the total landing distance was 1,722 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 261 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 68 minutes. The aircraft used 3,097 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, achieving a score of 96.1%. The final approach to runway 24L was initiated from the east, with a heading of 249.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 146 knots. However, the touchdown point was located 250 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to the deviation.
The aircraft's descent rate was fair at -272 feet per minute (fpm), which is a reasonable rate for a landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 90°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal at 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 1,722 meters was 43% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with only minor deviations from the desired performance.
