Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 5.3°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Add power earlier on final to hold VREF of 147 kt by the gates rather than let speed decay.
What happened: The approach was flown too slow through the stabilisation gates, crossing the threshold at 149 kt against a VREF of 147 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 147 kt from the first stabilisation gate onward.
See Arrival Approach
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: wings 21° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 5 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 147 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,986 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,986 m of the 3,188 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 530 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 departed Shannon Airport (EINN) from runway 06, applying a take-off roll of 1,412 m which represented 44 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 165 kt. Ambient conditions recorded a temperature of 19 °C, wind from 099° at 10 kt, with a cross-wind component of 7 kt and a head-wind component of 7 kt.
Climb commenced one mile west of Shannon in the Munster region, with the aircraft ascending from 333 ft asl to 860 ft asl, an altitude gain of 527 ft achieved in 1 minutes while covering 3 nm.
Level cruise began one mile south-west of Shannon, also in the Munster area, and persisted for 3 minutes during which 11 nm were traversed.
The final approach to runway 06 was executed from the south-west, aligning on a heading of 52.0° at a distance of 1 nm and an altitude of 222 ft agl.
Landing on runway 06, which measures 3,193 m, occurred with a threshold height of 57 ft agl and a threshold speed of 149 kt. The touchdown point was located 111 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the aircraft contacted the surface at 148 kt with a firm touchdown rate of minus 348 fpm. Lateral alignment at touchdown was off by 9.3 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 18 °C, wind from 120° at 13 kt, a cross-wind of 12 kt and a head-wind of 5 kt.
Rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,902 m, representing 60 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s path remained slightly misaligned by 9.5 m from the centreline during the deceleration phase.
In summary, the flight covered 16 nm, required 5 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 609 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 06 at EINN Shannon Airport was flown from the south-west on a heading of 52.0° at 1 NM and 222 ft agl, with a temperature of 18 °C, wind 13 kt from 120°, providing a 5 kt headwind and a 12 kt crosswind component.
At the threshold the aircraft was 57 ft agl, which was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was good at 149 kt.
Touchdown occurred 111 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 148 kt, noted as a little fast, and the aircraft settled at a firm rate of minus 348 fpm; the touchdown point was misaligned by 9.3 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1 902 m, representing 60 % of the 3 193 m runway, and the rollout was slightly misaligned by 9.5 m from the centreline.
Refine the touchdown point to land within the designated zone and tighten centreline tracking during flare and rollout to reduce the 9-metre alignment offsets.
