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 7.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Add power on final to cross the threshold at 164 kt, correcting the speed before the flare begins.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 28 kt below the 164 kt target, and the flare that followed raised the nose only 1.1° with little of the sink taken out. Shallow, underpowered approaches like this usually carry through into a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 164 kt at the threshold
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 12 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 164 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.3° off, against a 1° limit and speed 17 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 164 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,041 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 160 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 707-320 taxied from the parking area to runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport in a period of 20 minutes, covering a ground distance of 4 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 08R, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,485 m, representing 37 % of the runway length, and achieved a liftoff speed of 174 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 21 °C with wind from 79° at 9 kt, including a 1 kt crosswind component and a 9 kt headwind.
The climb commenced overhead the Munich airport, rising from 2,526 ft asl to 35,301 ft asl, an altitude gain of 32,775 ft achieved in 15 minutes while traversing 104 nm.
Cruise flight was divided into two level segments. The first cruise began 1 mile east of Gremsdorf, Bavaria, and lasted 127 minutes, covering 1,068 nm. A second cruise segment started at latitude 61.9491658 and longitude -13.7572611, lasting 24 minutes and adding 187 nm to the flight path.
Descent operations also occurred in two parts. The initial descent began at latitude 61.542736 and longitude -12.0694602, descending from 33,509 ft asl to 27,154 ft asl-a loss of 6,355 ft-in 7 minutes over 53 nm. A subsequent descent started 12 miles southeast of Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland, dropping from 27,093 ft asl to 1,480 ft asl, a decrease of 25,613 ft completed in 19 minutes while covering 105 nm.
On final approach to runway 01 at BIKF Keflavik International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,467 ft agl to 36 ft agl within 84 seconds, and the approach was recorded as scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 01 was executed with a threshold speed of 136 kt, slightly below the target, and a touchdown speed of 134 kt. The aircraft touched down 160 m down the runway, with a touchdown rate of minus 574 fpm, and the touchdown point was offset 12.1 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 11 °C with wind from 140° at 22 kt, including a 14 kt crosswind and a 17 kt tailwind. The total landing distance recorded was 1,421 m, representing 47 % of the runway length.
During rollout, the aircraft’s alignment remained slightly off centreline by 10.9 m, consistent with the touchdown offset, and the runway distance used matched the reported landing distance of 1,421 m.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm on the ground.
In total, the flight covered 1,529 nm, required 208 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 32,661 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 707-320 began its final approach to runway 01 at BIKF Keflavik International Airport with an unstable assessment at the 1,000 ft gate, being off the centreline. Descent was from 1,467 ft agl to 36 ft agl in 84 seconds and the approach was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a threshold speed slightly below target at 136 kt. The flare proceeded to a touchdown distance of 160 m and a touchdown speed of 134 kt, both judged good, while the vertical touchdown rate was very hard at minus 574 fpm. Runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.1 m from the centreline.
Touchdown occurred with the aircraft 12.1 m off the centreline, speed at 134 kt and a hard vertical rate of minus 574 fpm. The total landing distance measured 1,421 m, representing 47 % of the 3,041 m runway length.
Rollout alignment remained slightly off the centreline by 10.9 m. Local weather was 11 °C with wind 22 kt from 140°, including a 14 kt crosswind component and a 17 kt tailwind.
Focus on maintaining centreline alignment during the final approach to achieve a stabilized approach and reduce touchdown misalignment. Refine flare technique to moderate the descent rate and avoid a very hard touchdown.
