Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 6.1 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 3.5°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,495 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 363 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey with a taxiing period of 8 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 25, utilizing 1,021 meters, or 32% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 167 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 25°C, with a wind speed of 41 knots from a direction of 260°, resulting in a significant headwind component of 40 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 171 nautical miles in 23 minutes, increasing its altitude from 1,115 feet to 35,740 feet. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted for 172 minutes, covering a distance of 1,344 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 35,986 feet to 13,329 feet in 10 minutes, covering 71 nautical miles. A brief level cruise phase ensued, lasting 5 minutes and covering 22 nautical miles, before the aircraft continued its descent to 1,545 feet. The final approach to runway 08R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport was conducted from the west, with a heading of 78.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,336 feet above ground level.
The Boeing 737-800 landed on runway 08R, utilizing 955 meters, or 38% of the runway, and achieving a touchdown speed of 125 knots. The touchdown point was 206 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 60°, resulting in a slight headwind component of 7 knots. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 4 minutes. The total flight distance was 1,660 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 233 minutes and a fuel consumption of 9,553 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 08R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, demonstrating a satisfactory approach quality. The aircraft descended from 1,336 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning with the runway heading of 78.0°. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 132 knots was achieved, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 125 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -416 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting a slight loss of control during the touchdown phase. The touchdown point was 206 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may have been influenced by the hard touchdown rate. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.0 meters from the centreline, which could have contributed to the subsequent rollout issues.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by a misalignment of 17.7 meters from the centreline, indicating a deviation from the desired path. The total landing distance of 955 meters was 38% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. Considering the approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and rollout performance, the overall score for this landing was 89.1%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13°C and a 7-knot headwind, may have played a role in the landing performance.
