Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 114 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 320 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
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 1,676 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,676 m of the 2,587 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 784 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 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 03 at Eindhoven Airport (EHEH). The takeoff distance was 942 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 24°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 30°. The crosswind was negligible, while the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of Batadorp in the Netherlands, where the aircraft ascended from 1,110 feet above sea level to 37,185 feet above sea level, a gain of 36,075 feet in 23 minutes and covering 138 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began overhead Ognes in France and lasted for 65 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 498 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 19 miles southeast of Canet de Mar in Spain, where the aircraft descended from 37,029 feet above sea level to 1,293 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,736 feet in 22 minutes and covering 102 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24L at Palma de Mallorca Airport (LEPA) was made from the northeast, heading 239.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 24L, which had a length of 2,587 meters. The threshold height was above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly above target at 135 knots.
The touchdown point was 365 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 124 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -149 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 32°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 199°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,593 meters, accounting for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 748 nautical miles, which was covered in 124 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,002 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport, with a score of 90.2%. The final approach to runway 24L was initiated from the north east, heading 239.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 365 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -149 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline, but this did not seem to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 199°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was also 3 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which likely contributed to the smooth touchdown and rollout.
The total landing distance of 1,593 meters was 62% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot maintaining control throughout the rollout. However, there were some minor deviations from the target, including the touchdown point being slightly beyond the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position being slightly misaligned.
