Flight Score
Speed on the fast side
Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,784 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,784 m of the 3,052 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 554 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 24 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 155 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,247 m, which represented 36 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 22 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 199°, a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile north-west of Aalsmeerderbrug in the province of Noord-Holland; the airplane rose from 969 ft asl to 33,992 ft asl, a gain of 33,023 ft, in 22 minutes while covering 156 nm.
Level cruise began 65 miles east of Easington, East Riding of Yorkshire, and was maintained for 109 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 850 nm.
Descent was initiated 22 miles south of Vik i Myrdal, Sudurland; altitude decreased from 33,995 ft asl to 1,463 ft asl, a loss of 32,532 ft, over 20 minutes and a distance of 111 nm.
The final approach to runway 28 at Keflavik International Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 270.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,311 ft agl.
Landing on runway 28, whose total length is 3,052 m, occurred with a threshold height of 59 ft agl and a threshold speed of 145 kt; touchdown was recorded 140 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 140 kt, a vertical rate of minus 350 fpm, and a lateral deviation of 3.7 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 11 °C with a wind of 8 kt from 250°, a 3 kt cross-wind and an 8 kt head-wind. The total landing distance measured 1,705 m, representing 56 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, traveling another 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,125 nm, required 161 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 7,350 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 conducted the final approach to runway 28 at BIKF Keflavik International Airport from the east, flying a heading of 270.0° at 4 NM and 1,311 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits.
At threshold the height was slightly above target at 59 ft agl, while the threshold speed was good at 145 kt.
Touchdown occurred 140 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 140 kt, described as a little fast, and a firm touchdown rate of minus 350 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance was 1,705 m, representing 56 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good.
Minor refinements should focus on reducing the touchdown speed slightly and aiming to land closer to the designated touchdown zone to further optimise landing distance, while maintaining the excellent rollout alignment already demonstrated.
