Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 6.6 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 8° of bank in the first climb segment and 5° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 134 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 143 kt, 9 kt above 134 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 134 kt at the threshold.
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 1,968 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,968 m of the 3,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 847 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 19 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 01L at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport in Stockholm, Sweden. The takeoff distance was 1,382 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -7°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 319°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport and ascending from 1,199 feet above sea level to 27,003 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,803 feet in just 10 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 52 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 11 miles east of Djuroe, Stockholm County, Sweden, and lasted for 9 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 61 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent, which began 53 miles south of Korppoo, Varsinais-Suomi, Finland. The aircraft descended from 26,758 feet above sea level to 4,992 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,765 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Laulasmaa, Harjumaa, Estonia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. This was followed by a final descent, which began 3 miles south of Muraste, Harjumaa, Estonia. The aircraft descended from 4,980 feet above sea level to 1,565 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,415 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at EETN Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 91.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,421 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 08, which had a length of 3,216 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 144 knots.
The touchdown point was 431 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -242 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -9°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 110°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,886 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 234 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 64 minutes. The aircraft used 1,998 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EETN Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport, with a final approach score of 88.9%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 91.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,421 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 08, which has a length of 3,216 meters. However, the threshold height at 66 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was well above the target at 144 knots, suggesting that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly or that the pilots may have been applying too much power.
The touchdown point was 431 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilots may have been unable to fully arrest the aircraft's descent before touching down. The touchdown rate of -242 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown.
Despite some minor issues with the approach and touchdown, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were cold, with a temperature of -9°C, and a moderate headwind of 8 knots from a direction of 110°. The crosswind was relatively light at 3 knots, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the approach and touchdown that the pilots may need to work on to improve their performance. The total landing distance of 1,886 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is a relatively long distance but not excessively so.
