Flight Score
Departure
Reduce power to hold the correct climb speed from the start of the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, the aircraft was flown faster than the target climb speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: the normal climb speed band during the climb
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed above 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 2,434 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 677 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 13 at EGOV Anglesey Airport, where the Jaguar A aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 860 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 110 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots coming from a direction of 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 15 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,047 feet above sea level (asl) to 2,658 ft asl, an increase of 1,610 feet in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 2 minutes, which covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 3,076 ft asl to 15,955 ft asl, an increase of 12,880 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent from 15,865 ft asl to 649 ft asl, a decrease of 15,216 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles. This descent phase was followed by another climb phase, where the aircraft climbed from 657 ft asl to 30,254 ft asl, an increase of 29,598 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 30,278 ft asl to 2,195 ft asl, a decrease of 28,083 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles.
The final climb phase began overhead Mobberley, Cheshire East, England, where the aircraft climbed from 1,975 ft asl to 1,019 ft asl, an increase of 956 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23R at EGCC Manchester Airport, coming from the north east at a heading of 234.0 degrees, 1 nautical mile from the airport and at an altitude of 762 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing on runway 23R was characterized by a touchdown point that was 216 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 135 knots and a touchdown rate of -342 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.4 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 22 knots coming from a direction of 280 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 17 knots and a headwind of 15 knots.
The total landing distance was 876 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 118 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 23 minutes. The aircraft used 1,298 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, a Jaguar A 2/11 Vosges 11-MW, successfully landed on runway 23R at Manchester Airport (EGCC) with a score of 79.3%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 234.0° at 1 nautical mile and 762 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's descent and alignment with the runway were closely monitored, with the threshold height being well above the target at 79 feet agl.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target at 171 knots, but the touchdown speed of 135 knots was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -342 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.4 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to a slightly uneven rollout.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 22 knots from 280°. This resulted in a crosswind of 17 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. The total landing distance was 876 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot maintaining control throughout the rollout. However, the misalignment of the touchdown position and rollout alignment may require further attention to ensure optimal performance and safety.
