Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 510 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 74 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 74 ft, 29 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,710 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 396 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 35 at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport, covering less than 1 nm in 4 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 35, the takeoff distance was 1,216 m, representing 37 % of the runway, and liftoff was achieved at 157 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 23 °C, wind 7 kt from 329°, a crosswind component of 2 kt and a headwind component of 7 kt.
Enroute climb commenced 1 mile west of Moreira, with the aircraft climbing from 1,113 ft asl to 22,992 ft asl, an increase of 21,879 ft in 9 minutes while covering 47 nm.
Level cruise began 4 miles southwest of Ovar and lasted 13 minutes, during which 88 nm were flown.
Descent started 1 mile southeast of Nadadouro, descending from 22,423 ft asl to 1,651 ft asl, a decrease of 20,771 ft in 17 minutes and covering 79 nm.
Final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport was flown from the south on a heading of 23.0° at 4 nm and 1,295 ft agl.
The aircraft landed on runway 02 at LPPT, whose length is 3,716 m. Threshold speed was 137 kt, touchdown speed 132 kt, touchdown distance 401 m and touchdown rate minus 187 fpm. Total landing distance was 1,066 m, 29 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 222 nm, required 46 minutes, and used 1,665 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport was conducted from the south on a heading of 23.0 °, 4 nm out and 1,295 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft established the required speed of 137 kt, which was judged good, and began the flare. The flare was executed within the expected parameters, leading to a touchdown distance of 401 m from the threshold, which was described as good.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 132 kt, rated good, with a vertical rate of -187 fpm, also rated good. Runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the total landing distance measured 1,066 m, representing 29 % of the 3,716 m runway.
Rollout alignment was perfect and the aircraft remained centered on the runway centreline throughout the rollout.
Minor refinements could focus on tightening the touchdown point toward the 300 m aim zone and monitoring the vertical rate to keep it within the optimal range, which would further improve an already excellent 99.5 % score.
