Flight Score
Work on the flare
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,402 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 735 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 707-320 took off from runway 06 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, with a departure roll that consumed 2,076 meters, accounting for 52% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 175 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions featured a pleasant temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, with wind blowing at 9 knots from 110 degrees, generating a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft performed a series of enroute climbs and descents, navigating through various altitudes and geographic locations in Luxembourg and Germany. The flight started to climb from 2,218 feet above sea level in Senningen, Luxembourg, to 12,644 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. Subsequently, the aircraft descended from 12,095 feet to 8,726 feet in 2 minutes, while maintaining a distance of 8 nautical miles.
During the enroute level cruise phase, the aircraft leveled off at different altitudes, cruising for varied intervals and covering specified distances. A notable climb started from Monzelfeld, rising from 7,959 feet to 19,984 feet in 5 minutes, while another descent began over Grimburg, lowering from 20,258 feet to 18,759 feet in 2 minutes. Other significant climbs occurred near Losheim, Horath, Hauptstuhl, and Karlsruhe.
The enroute level cruise resumed over Ettlingen, lasting for 36 minutes, and covering a substantial distance of 32 nautical miles. A final descent was initiated from Tennenbronn, dropping from 13,054 feet to 7,587 feet in 2 minutes. A series of subsequent climbs and descents unfolded as the aircraft continued its route, ultimately reaching an altitude of 30,437 feet above Oberhambach.
As the flight approached its destination, the Boeing 707-320 made a final approach to runway 06 at EDJA Memmingen Allgau Airport from the southwest. Local weather conditions were cooler, with 11 degrees Celsius temperature and 6 knots wind from 50 degrees. The aircraft maintained a heading of 59.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile away from the runway, at an altitude of 623 feet above ground level.
Upon making a successful landing on runway 06, which was 2,402 meters in length, the aircraft experienced a threshold height that was well above the target. The threshold speed was good at 156 knots, with the touchdown speed measured at 143 knots, meeting the target. However, the aircraft's touchdown rate was very hard at -531 feet per minute, and its runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centreline.
Following the landing, the aircraft continued with a taxiing duration of 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile, before reaching the parking area. In total, the flight traversed a distance of 354 nautical miles, taking 97 minutes to complete the journey. The flight used an insignificant amount of fuel, with a consumption of 0 kilograms.
Report: Boeing 707-320 Landing at EDJA Memmingen Allgau Airport
On this occasion, the Boeing 707-320 safely landed at EDJA Memmingen Allgau Airport, with a final score of 82.2%. The aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 06 from the south west, navigating on a heading of 59.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile (nm) and an altitude of 623 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with a good threshold speed of 156 knots (kt), indicating a controlled and stable approach. However, the threshold height at 73 ft agl was well above the target, signifying that the aircraft could have potentially been closer to the runway before touchdown. Nonetheless, the touchdown point was 308 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 143 kt was within the acceptable limit.
Notably, the touchdown rate was quite hard at -531 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting that the aircraft touched down with some force. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, deviating 4.9 meters from the centerline. Local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 11°C and a slight headwind of 6 kt at 50°.
The total landing distance of 1,319 meters accounted for 55% of the runway length, which is slightly above average. Furthermore, during the rollout alignment, the aircraft deviated 12.6 meters from the centerline, although this deviation was relatively minor.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the score of 82.2% reflects a well-executed but not perfect performance, showcasing the crew's experience and skill in operating the Boeing 707-320.
