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 5.6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 74 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 74 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 775 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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 2,550 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,550 m of the 3,091 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 775 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport in 13 minutes, covering 2 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 25R with a distance of 2,027 m, which was 61 % of the runway length. Rotation occurred at 153 kt. Local weather at departure was 11 °C with wind 5 kt from 059°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 5 kt tailwind.
The initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 25 seconds, averaging 1,902 fpm and reaching 172 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1,134 ft asl to 33,005 ft asl in 17 minutes, covering 94 nm and beginning overhead Diegem.
Cruise was level at 33,000 ft asl for 175 minutes, covering 1,102 nm, starting overhead Manicamp.
Descent began from 33,004 ft asl to 2,790 ft asl in 25 minutes, covering 129 nm, with the descent start point 12 miles east of Berrechid.
During final approach to runway 28 at GMMX Menara Airport, descent from 1,298 ft agl to 109 ft agl took 96 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration was landing gear down at 2,334 ft agl with 192 kt, and final flap position 7 at 1,611 ft agl with 163 kt.
Landing was on runway 28, whose length is 3,091 m. The threshold height at 74 ft agl was well above target and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 150 kt. The flare was described as perfect; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 357 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 140 kt, a little fast, with a descent rate of minus 177 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 7.5 m from the centreline. No bounce occurred.
Total landing distance was 2,465 m, which is 80 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was very good. Local weather at landing was 22 °C with wind 6 kt from 272°, a 0 kt crosswind and a 6 kt headwind.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering 1 nm.
The flight covered a total distance of 1,337 nm in 234 minutes and used 8,835 kg of fuel.
