Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 147 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 158 kt, 11 kt above the 147 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 147 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 3,049 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 493 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London Stansted Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 22, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 156 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,521 meters was achieved at 50% of the runway length, with the aircraft clearing the ground in a relatively short distance.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south east of Birchanger, Essex. The climb phase was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, from 1,347 feet above sea level to 35,990 feet, a rise of 34,643 feet in just 15 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 137 nautical miles, setting the stage for the enroute level cruise that followed. The cruise phase, which lasted 3 minutes, saw the aircraft maintain a steady altitude of 35,990 feet as it covered a further 77 nautical miles. The descent phase, which began 11 miles north of Saint Davids, Wales, saw the aircraft lose altitude at a rate of 34,614 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 141 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Shannon Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 24, aligning itself with the runway from the north east. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was well above the target, at 159 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 152 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -245 feet per minute was fair. The touchdown point was 94 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,403 meters was 46% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 362 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 3,102 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which took 44 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 24 at EINN Shannon Airport, a 3,050-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the north east. The aircraft was established on the localizer at 4 nautical miles from the threshold, at an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level, and heading 232.0°. The approach quality was good, with a well-controlled descent and a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was above the target, reaching 159 knots.
The touchdown point was 94 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 152 knots was slightly fast. The touchdown rate of -245 feet per minute was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.4 meters, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 12 knots. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind of 15 knots at 180°, contributed to the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,403 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration after touchdown. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 97.8%. The slight deviations from the target touchdown speed and position were minor and did not significantly impact the overall performance.
