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 6.6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 143 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 151 kt, 8 kt above 143 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 143 kt at the threshold.
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 1,891 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,891 m of the 2,442 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 943 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 31R at LFML Marseille Provence Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,733 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 309°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles southwest of Rognac, France. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 81 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,032 feet above sea level to 34,397 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,365 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles northeast of Saint-Etienne-de-Boulogne, France. This phase lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 64 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles southeast of Sauxillanges, France. The descent took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 95 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,329 feet above sea level to 2,571 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,758 feet.
The final approach to runway 21 at LFBL Limoges Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 213.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,285 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 21, which had a length of 2,442 meters. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots.
The touchdown point was 412 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 141 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -345 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 260°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,696 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.5 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 249 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 66 minutes. The aircraft used 2,190 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at LFBL Limoges Airport, achieving an overall score of 82.2%. The final approach to runway 21 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 213.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 412 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the target area. The touchdown speed of 141 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force to bring the aircraft to a stop. However, the touchdown rate of -345 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 5 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. Despite these conditions, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 1,696 meters was 69% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.5 meters from the centerline, which may indicate that the pilot needed to make some adjustments during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, such as the touchdown speed and runway rollout alignment. The pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft and bring it to a stop within a reasonable distance was demonstrated, but there is room for refinement in terms of precision and control.
