Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,164 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,164 m of the 2,997 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 782 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 01 at Tunis Carthage International Airport (DTTA). The takeoff distance was 1,326 meters, which is 41% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 28°C, a wind speed of 3 knots at 360°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile east of Ariana, Tunisia, and reached a height of 33,405 feet above sea level (asl) from an initial height of 1,062 feet asl. This climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 83 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered its enroute level cruise, which started 3 miles south of El Kala, Algeria, and lasted for 51 minutes, covering a distance of 506 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile northwest of the Aeródromo de Campillos in Spain, and the aircraft descended from 33,303 feet asl to 19,924 feet asl, a decrease of 13,379 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 2 miles southwest of Canaveras, Spain, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile south of Alcocer, Spain, and the aircraft descended from 19,885 feet asl to 8,312 feet asl, a decrease of 11,573 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 44 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 5 miles northeast of Uceda, Spain, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 2 miles northeast of El Berrueco, Spain, and the aircraft descended from 7,888 feet asl to 3,218 feet asl, a decrease of 4,670 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18L at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (LEMD) was made from the north, heading 180.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,252 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on runway 18L, which has a length of 2,997 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 141 knots.
The touchdown point was 374 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at -48 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°C, a wind speed of 3 knots at 22°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,091 meters, which is 70% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 724 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 118 minutes. The aircraft used 5,527 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, achieving a high score of 94.2%. The final approach to runway 18L was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 374 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the target area. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force to bring the aircraft to a stop. However, the touchdown rate of -48 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 22°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing and the aircraft's ability to maintain its alignment with the runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway and was able to maintain control throughout the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot had successfully brought the aircraft to a stop and was able to maintain control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled descent, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory given the weather conditions.
