Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 10 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 7.5° of bank in the first climb segment and 4.6° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Steepen the descent on final to rejoin the glideslope, aiming to cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: The approach drifted above the glideslope, carrying the aircraft across the threshold at 79 ft against the 50 ft target. Crossing the threshold high like this usually carries the touchdown point long.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude against 50 ft on short final to confirm the glidepath is recaptured before the threshold.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 11.9 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 137 kt, against a 5 kt limit.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 4.5° against the runway's 2.9°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,035 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 553 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxi from the parking area to runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport. The taxi covered 1 nm and took 14 minutes.
Take-off was performed on runway 22. The aircraft used 1,942 m of runway, which is 64 % of the available length. Rotation occurred at 148 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 12 °C, wind 10 kt from 110°, with a 9 kt crosswind and a 4 kt tailwind component.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 18 seconds, averaging 2,155 fpm and reaching 172 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1,290 ft asl to 32,986 ft asl in 17 minutes, covering 93 nm and beginning 1 mile south-east of Birchanger.
Cruise at 33,000 ft asl was held for 33 minutes, covering 228 nm, starting 10 miles north-west of Grand-Fort-Philippe. A subsequent climb from 33,459 ft asl to 36,561 ft asl took 3 minutes over 23 nm, beginning overhead Langenbach. Level flight at 37,000 ft asl continued for 112 minutes, covering 788 nm, starting 2 miles south of Erlenbach.
Descent from 36,999 ft asl to 943 ft asl was completed in 29 minutes, covering 146 nm, beginning 3 miles east of Corfu. An approach to runway 16 at LGZA Zakynthos International Airport was commenced, but a go-around was executed at 815 ft agl.
On the subsequent final approach to runway 16, descent from 1,016 ft agl to 160 ft agl took 112 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, centreline, and wings level; they were not met for glideslope (one gate) and speed (one gate). Configuration was gear down at 2,579 ft agl at 197 kt, and final flap position 8 was selected at 1,073 ft agl at 151 kt.
Landing occurred on runway 16, whose length is 2,035 m. The threshold height of 79 ft agl was well above target, and the threshold speed of 142 kt was slightly above target. The flare began early and was described as great. Touchdown was 127 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 129 kt and a rate of -209 fpm, which was noted as fair. Alignment on touchdown and during rollout was perfect, with no bounce. Total landing distance was 1,279 m, representing 63 % of the runway. Local weather at landing was temperature 23 °C, wind 14 kt from 170°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 14 kt headwind component.
After landing, taxi to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The flight covered a total distance of 1,287 nm in 211 minutes and consumed 7,835 kg of fuel.
