Flight Score
Work on the flare
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,641 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 510 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 08 at ULAA Talagi Airport in a duration of 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 08, the Boeing 737-800 accelerated to a liftoff speed of 149 kt and left the runway after traveling 1,171 m, which represented 47 % of the available length; ambient temperature was 26 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 239°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead ULAA, rising from 986 ft asl to 39,962 ft asl - an altitude gain of 38,976 ft - in 46 minutes while covering 335 nm.
The first cruise segment began 5 mi north of EFIT Kitee Airport and continued for 134 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 1,041 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 49 mi north-east of Happisburgh, England, with the aircraft descending from 39,994 ft asl to 3,014 ft asl - a loss of 36,980 ft - in 21 minutes while traversing 143 nm.
A brief cruise followed, initiated 3 mi south of Woodford Green, Greater London, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
The subsequent descent began overhead Battersea, descending from 2,979 ft asl to 1,383 ft asl - a reduction of 1,596 ft - in 2 minutes and covering another 7 nm.
For the final approach to runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow, the aircraft approached from the east on a heading of 270.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,295 ft agl; local conditions were 27 °C, wind 4 kt from 190°, with a 4 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind component.
Landing was executed on runway 27L, whose length is 3,641 m; the threshold speed was 131 kt, touchdown occurred 102 m beyond the touchdown zone at 120 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 117 fpm, with alignment described as very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 983 m, representing 27 % of the runway, and alignment during the rollout was reported as perfect.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,540 nm, required 211 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 9,573 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 executed the final approach to runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow from the east, heading 270.0° at 4 nm and 1,295 ft AGL. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1 000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
Threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 131 kt. The aircraft crossed the threshold and the touchdown point was 102 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 120 kt that was judged good.
Touchdown rate was smooth at minus 117 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect. Total landing distance was 983 m, representing 27 % of the 3 641 m runway. The score for the landing was 99.8 %.
Maintain the stabilised approach and monitor the touchdown point to keep it within the designated zone, which will preserve the excellent alignment and distance margins already achieved.
