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 2.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,116 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,116 m of the 3,989 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 485 m touchdown sits inside 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 28 at LIME Milan Bergamo Airport / Antonio Locatelli Air Base. The takeoff distance was 1,671 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 280 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Orio al Serio in Lombardia, Italy. The climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 52 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,761 feet above sea level to 33,510 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,750 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 4 miles south east of Andeer in Kanton Graubunden, Switzerland. This phase lasted for 19 minutes and covered a distance of 144 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles south west of Vaihingen an der Enz in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 111 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 33,478 feet above sea level to 2,596 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,882 feet.
The final approach to runway 24 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport was made from the north east, with a heading of 240.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,398 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 24, which had a length of 3,989 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 149 knots. The touchdown point was 74 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 145 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -202 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1 degree Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 130 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 2,040 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 316 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 72 minutes. The aircraft used 2,693 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The final approach to runway 24 was initiated from the north east, heading 240.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,398 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 148 kt, registering at 149 kt. The touchdown point was located 74 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 145 kt was slightly faster than the desired speed, which could have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -202 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 3 kt from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was 3 kt, while the tailwind component was 1 kt. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,040 meters was 51% of the available runway length of 3,989 meters. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and alignment during the landing phase.
