Hold the approach angle
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,833 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 171 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-700 began at LIRS Grosseto Air Base, with a quick 3-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway. The departure roll from runway 03L covered a distance of 1,072 meters, which was 37% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, with local weather conditions showing a temperature of 10 °C and a light 2 knot wind coming in at 49°, resulting in a 1 knot crosswind and a 2 knot headwind.
Once airborne, the enroute climb started over Grosseto (Toscana, Italy), taking the aircraft from 1,063 feet above sea level to 37,982 feet, covering a total distance of 206 nautical miles in 29 minutes. The level cruise phase began near Rovere della Luna (Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy), lasting 99 minutes and covering 762 nm.
As the flight neared its destination, the enroute descent started southeast of Stavern (Vestfold og Telemark, Norway), bringing the aircraft from 38,413 feet above sea level to 4,536 feet, descending a total of 33,878 feet in 20 minutes while covering 125 nm.
The final approach to runway 33 at ENFG Fagernes Airport, Leirin saw the aircraft coming in from the southeast at 4 nm and 1,827 feet above ground level. The landing on the 1,833 meter runway was successful, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -342 ft/m. The total landing distance was 711 meters, which was 39% of the runway’s length, with a good runway rollout alignment.
After touchdown, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area in less than a minute, having flown a total distance of 1,099 nm during the 156-minute flight. A total of 6,526 kg of fuel was consumed during the journey. Local weather conditions at the destination showed a temperature of -11 °C, with a light 1 knot tailwind coming in at 147°. Overall, the flight was successfully completed with all parameters falling within safe and acceptable limits.
First and foremost, congratulations on achieving an outstanding aircraft landing score of 98.7%! This is a testament to the skill and precision exhibited during each phase of the landing process.
Let's delve into the details starting with the Approach Phase. It is commendable that the glideslope alignment was excellent, indicating a smooth descent towards the runway. Furthermore, maintaining a threshold speed of 131 knots showcases the pilot's ability to accurately control the aircraft's velocity during this critical phase.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is noted that the threshold height was good, suggesting a well-timed descent towards the runway. The quality of the landing flare was described as very good, indicating a smooth transition from descent to touchdown.
During the Touchdown Phase, the firm touchdown rate of -342 ft/min displays a confident and controlled landing. Additionally, achieving a touchdown speed of 129 knots is impressive and reflects the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed effectively. The touchdown distance of 545 feet demonstrates precise landing execution, while the perfect runway touchdown alignment further showcases the pilot's proficiency in aligning the aircraft with the centerline.
In conclusion, the overall assessment of the landing demonstrates a high level of skill, precision, and professionalism. Each phase of the landing process was executed with proficiency, contributing to the exceptional landing score of 98.7%. This achievement reflects a commitment to safety, accuracy, and excellence in aviation operations. Keep up the great work, and continue to strive for excellence in all your future flights!
