Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 43 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 43 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 43 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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 1,751 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,751 m of the 2,744 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 570 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 29 at LDDU Dubrovnik Ruđer Bošković Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,700 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 20°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Zvekovica, a location in Dubrovacko-Neretvanska Zupanija, Croatia. The enroute climb started at an altitude of 1,383 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 33,999 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,616 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which lasted for 109 minutes and covered a distance of 696 nautical miles, starting 3 miles south east of Grohote, a location in Split-Dalmatia, Croatia.
The enroute descent started 1 mile west of Zuiddorpe, a location in Provincie Zeeland, The Netherlands, and lasted for 9 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 34,000 feet above sea level to 24,011 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,989 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 18 nautical miles, starting 23 miles north west of Middelkerke, a location in Flanders, Belgium.
The enroute descent started 30 miles north east of Broadstairs, a location in Kent, England, and lasted for 16 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 24,008 feet above sea level to 4,189 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,819 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 73 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles, starting 1 mile north of Great Waldingfield, a location in Suffolk, England.
The final enroute descent started 2 miles south east of Steeple Bumpstead, a location in Essex, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 3,819 feet above sea level to 1,686 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,133 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport, heading 223.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,332 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport was successful, with a runway length of 2,744 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 knots. The touchdown point was 155 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 144 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -222 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 170°.
The total landing distance was 1,672 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at London Stansted Airport (EGSS) on runway 22. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 223.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,332 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good alignment with the runway throughout the approach.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 148 knots. The touchdown point was located 155 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting. The touchdown speed of 144 knots was also a little faster than desired, resulting in a touchdown rate of -222 feet per minute (fpm), which was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 170°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the runway touchdown alignment was reported as very good.
The total landing distance was 1,672 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a good rate of descent and touchdown speed. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there were some minor deviations from the target speeds and touchdown point, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
