Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 179 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 152 kt against a target of 179 kt, running 27 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 179 kt.
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 15 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 20 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,168 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 593 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 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 22, the Boeing 737-800 accelerated for a takeoff distance of 880 m, representing 29 % of the runway, and lifted off at 139 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 17 °C, wind 13 kt from 230°, with a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 13 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead EGSS, climbing from 1,458 ft asl to 34,012 ft asl, an increase of 32,554 ft achieved in 11 minutes while covering 55 nm.
Cruise began 2 miles south-east of Collyweston, lasting 10 minutes and encompassing 66 nm of level flight.
Descent started over South Elmsall, descending from 33,998 ft asl to 1,540 ft asl, a loss of 32,458 ft in 19 minutes and covering 99 nm.
The final approach to runway 25 at EGNT Newcastle Airport involved a descent from 1,336 ft agl to 64 ft agl over 130 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 25, which is 2,168 m long, occurred with a threshold speed slightly above target at 129 kt. Touchdown was recorded 161 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 111 kt and a vertical rate of minus 231 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 15.7 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 17 °C, wind 11 kt from 230°, with a 3 kt cross-wind and a 10 kt head-wind component.
The runway rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,084 m, equal to 50 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment during rollout was off by 19.9 m from the centreline.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 226 nm, took 49 minutes, and consumed 1,910 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A340 successfully landed at FNLU Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 227.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 29°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots blowing from 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 15 knots, which the pilots effectively managed during the landing process. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 137 knots, indicating a controlled descent.
The touchdown distance was good at 296 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within the acceptable range at 133 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -357 feet per minute (fpm), which is a desirable outcome as it indicates a controlled and stable landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilots' skill and attention to detail.
The total landing distance was 923 meters, which is only 26% of the runway length. This is a testament to the pilots' expertise in managing the aircraft's speed and descent during the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
Overall, the landing of the Airbus A340 at FNLU Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport was a success, with the pilots demonstrating exceptional skill and attention to detail. The high score of 98.5% reflects the high standard of flying achieved during this landing.
