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 305 m and 152 m 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 2,693 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 298 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight, operated by Orbit Airlines, began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway at Bristol Airport (EGGD), which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles (nm). The aircraft then departed from runway 09, with a takeoff distance of 1,211 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots (kt).
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 13°C and winds of 24 kt at 110°. The crosswind was 9 kt, while the headwind was 22 kt. The enroute climb started overhead Winford, North Somerset, England, where the aircraft ascended from 464 meters above sea level (asl) to 10,480 m asl, an increase of 10,015.8 meters in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nm.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Purley, Greater London, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 12 nm. The aircraft then started another climb 1 mile east of Kemsing, Kent, England, where it ascended from 10,598 m asl to 11,277 m asl, an increase of 679.5 meters in 3 minutes, covering 27 nm.
The enroute level cruise continued 1 mile south of Chartham, Kent, England, and lasted for 40 minutes, covering 305 nm. As the aircraft approached its destination, it started its descent 1 mile south of Nidderau, Hessen, Germany, where it descended from 11,228 m asl to 1,394 m asl, a decrease of 9,833.8 meters in 16 minutes, covering 100 nm.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile south east of Wiesenbronn, Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 20 nm. The aircraft then began its final descent overhead Gutenstetten, Bavaria, Germany, where it descended from 1,465 m asl to 1,308 m asl, a decrease of 156.2 meters in 2 minutes, covering 6 nm.
The final approach to runway 10 at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN) was made from the west, heading 99.0° at 4 nm and 416.1 meters above ground level (agl). The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 293 meters and a touchdown speed of 135 kt. The touchdown rate was heavy at -4.4 meters per second, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 3°C and winds of 11 kt at 90°. The crosswind was 2 kt, while the headwind was 11 kt. The total landing distance was 951 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 589 nm, which was completed in 98 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,325 kilograms of fuel.
The Aircraft Orbit Airlines City Lights successfully landed at EDDN Nuremberg Airport, achieving a score of 92.1%. The final approach to runway 10 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 99.0° at an altitude of 416.1 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 140 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 293 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was also within acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in executing a safe landing.
One area of concern was the touchdown rate, which was recorded at -4.4 meters per second. This is considered a heavy touchdown rate, suggesting that the aircraft may have landed with a slightly higher than ideal rate of descent. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 11 knots, which the pilot successfully managed during the landing.
The total landing distance of 951 meters was 35% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot executed a controlled and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control during the landing. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop safely and efficiently.
