Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 179 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 34 kt fast at 213 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 179 kt in the climb
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 245 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
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 5 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 143 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 11 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 143 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 2,604 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 443 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Venice Marco Polo Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 04R, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 23 °C and a gentle headwind of 7 knots at 39°. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 154 knots, utilizing just 35% of the available runway length of 1,166 meters.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 973 feet above sea level to 36,016 feet in a mere 21 minutes, covering a distance of 141 nautical miles. The climb was initiated 1 mile northeast of the airport, and the aircraft continued to ascend until it reached its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise phase followed, lasting 70 minutes and covering a distance of 517 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 36,016 feet to 1,673 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles. The descent was initiated 1 mile northwest of Belsize Park, and the aircraft continued to descend until it reached its final approach altitude.
As the aircraft approached Birmingham International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 33, aligning itself with the runway from the southeast. The local weather conditions were again favorable, with a temperature of 18 °C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots at 310°. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 128 knots, utilizing just 40% of the available runway length of 2,317 meters. The touchdown distance was 443 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 798 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 5,409 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 131 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 33 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft maintained a steady heading of 326.0° as it descended from 1,348 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The threshold height was good, allowing the crew to establish a stable visual reference for the landing.
As the aircraft touched down, it achieved a threshold speed of 137 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 443 meters was also good, indicating a well-executed flare and touchdown. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly above the optimal range, and the touchdown rate of -206 feet per minute was fair, suggesting a slight loss of control during the touchdown phase. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft tracking very close to the centreline. The total landing distance of 926 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18°C and a 5-knot headwind, contributed to a relatively smooth and stable landing. Overall, the landing was scored 97.9%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the crew.
