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 5.6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 33 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 33 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 33 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,744 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 734 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 33 at LFMP Perpignan-Rivesaltes (Llabanère) Airport, where the aircraft, a B38M, took off with a takeoff distance of 1,114 meters, which was 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 259 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,130 feet above sea level to 38,358 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,228 feet in just 18 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles. The climb phase started overhead Peyrestortes in Occitanie, France. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began overhead Labastide-Marnhac in Occitanie, France, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 249 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 38,201 feet above sea level to 19,309 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,893 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 131 nautical miles. The descent phase started overhead Saint-Hilaire-du-Maine in Pays de la Loire, France. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which began 18 miles southeast of Ventnor on the Isle of Wight, England, and lasted for just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 1 mile southeast of Selsey in West Sussex, England, and the aircraft descended from 19,301 feet above sea level to 2,480 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,821 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, which began overhead Great Chishill in Cambridgeshire, England, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport, approaching from the north east with a heading of 223.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 22, which had a length of 2,744 meters. The threshold height at 64 feet above ground level was above the target, and the threshold speed at 135 knots was well below the target, requiring the pilot to exercise caution to avoid stalling.
The touchdown point was 331 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -200 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 350 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,327 meters, which was 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 613 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 106 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 3,448 kilograms.
The aircraft, identified as B38M, successfully landed on runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 223.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots, which was within the acceptable range.
However, there were a few areas of concern during the landing. The threshold height at 64 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. Additionally, the threshold speed of 135 knots was well below the target, which necessitated caution to avoid stalling the aircraft. Despite these issues, the touchdown point was 331 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance.
The landing distance of 1,327 meters was 48% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining to stop safely. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Nevertheless, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 12°C and winds of 4 knots at 350°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 3 knots, which is a relatively minor influence on the aircraft's performance. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor areas for improvement. The aircraft's score of 86.9% reflects the satisfactory performance during the landing.
