Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,746 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,746 m of the 3,203 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 557 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at Belfast International Airport, EGAA. The Boeing 737-800 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,091 meters, which was 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 280 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile north west of Crumlin, Antrim and Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,314 feet above sea level to 39,603 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,289 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 139 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile north of EIFE Fethard Airstrip, Fethard, Munster, Ireland. This cruise lasted for 110 minutes, covering a distance of 804 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 6 miles west of Monforte, Distrito de Portalegre, Portugal. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 39,935 feet above sea level to 12,704 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,231 feet in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 168 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time starting overhead Olvera, Andalusia, Spain, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The final descent started 2 miles south east of Cuevas del Becerro, Andalusia, Spain, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 12,675 feet above sea level to 1,407 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,268 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13 at Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport, LEMG, was made from the north west, heading 132.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,356 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 13, which had a length of 3,203 meters. The threshold height at 56 feet above ground level was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above target at 145 knots.
The touchdown point was 139 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 138 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -347 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 24.6 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 130 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,663 meters, which was 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 24.6 meters from the centreline. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,153 nautical miles, taking 185 minutes, and the aircraft used 6,796 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport, achieving an overall score of 81.5%. The final approach to runway 13 was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 132.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,356 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, but with a few notable deviations from the target parameters. The threshold height at 56 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a slightly higher-than-desired approach. Additionally, the threshold speed of 145 knots was also slightly above the target, suggesting a slightly faster-than-ideal approach.
The touchdown point was located 139 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 138 knots was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate of -347 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. Notably, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 24.6 meters from the centerline, which could have implications for the aircraft's stability and control during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a gentle headwind of 8 knots at 130°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,663 meters was 52% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was again misaligned by 24.6 meters from the centerline, which could indicate a need for adjustments to the aircraft's control inputs or the pilot's technique. Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement to achieve a more precise and controlled touchdown.
