Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Reduce power on final so the aircraft arrives at 142 kt over the threshold instead of carrying excess speed.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 148 kt against a 142 kt target usually carries extra energy into the flare as a balloon, and the sink that returns afterward usually arrives hard at touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 142 kt at the threshold
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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,744 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,744 m of the 3,094 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 862 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 approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 19 at LEMH Menorca Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,792 meters, which accounted for 76% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 215 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of LEMH Menorca Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 331 meters above sea level to 10,665 meters above sea level, an increase of 10,334 meters, in 19 minutes and covering 119 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 13 miles east of Sant Carles de Peralta, and lasted for 78 minutes, covering 576 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 7 miles south of Al Fqih Ben Calah, and descended from 10,668 meters above sea level to 1,344 meters above sea level, a decrease of 9,323.7 meters, in 17 minutes and covering 65 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 17 miles east of Marrakesh, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 28 at GMMX Menara Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 276.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 397.7 meters above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at an altitude of 90.7 meters above ground level.
The aircraft then made a successful landing on runway 28 at GMMX Menara Airport, with a runway length of 3,094 meters. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 knots. The touchdown point was 450 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 136 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -2.3 meters per second, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.0 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 42 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 321 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,668 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.1 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 789 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 148 minutes, and the aircraft used 6,117 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, identified as an A21N, successfully landed at GMMX Menara Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 276.0° at an altitude of 397.7 meters above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft's speed and altitude were well within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 136 knots, which is considered good. However, the touchdown rate was hard, at -2.3 meters per second, indicating a relatively abrupt touchdown. The touchdown point was 450 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight delay in the pilot's decision to touch down.
The threshold height at 22.5 meters agl was significantly above the target, suggesting that the aircraft was higher than expected when it reached the runway threshold. The threshold speed was also slightly above the target, at 148 knots. These deviations may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were hot, with a temperature of 42°C, and relatively calm, with winds of 6 knots at 321°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 4 knots, which is relatively minimal. Despite these favorable weather conditions, the pilot still struggled to maintain a precise alignment with the runway centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,668 meters, which is 54% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft may have been traveling at a higher speed than necessary or that the pilot may have delayed the touchdown decision. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, by 14.1 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the aircraft landed safely, there were several areas for improvement in terms of precision and control. The pilot may benefit from additional training or practice to refine their skills and achieve a more ideal landing performance.
