Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 176 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 64 kt fast at 240 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 176 kt in the climb
Arrival
Hold a little more back pressure through the last of the flare to arrest the sink before 426 fpm develops.
What happened: Touchdown sink rate was 426 fpm, a firm arrival with no other fault on this landing to account for it.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: minimal sink 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: wings 45° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 82 kt FAST on the reference speed of 136 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 1.7° against the runway's 3°, wings 13° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 66 kt FAST on the reference speed of 136 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,705 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,705 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 497 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, the Boeing 737-700 began its takeoff roll on runway 24, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 183 kt. The aircraft utilized 40% of the 1,609 m runway, achieving a smooth transition into the air. Local conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 12 °C, with a gentle headwind of 4 kt at 263°.
As the aircraft entered the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from 1,954 ft above sea level to 1,851 ft, a net increase of 103 ft over a distance of 5 nm. This climb phase was initiated approximately 1 mile southeast of Kirchberg, Luxembourg. The aircraft maintained a steady ascent, eventually transitioning into the final approach phase for runway 06 at ELLX. From a southeasterly heading of 70.0° at 2 nm and 615 ft above ground level, the aircraft began its descent, preparing for touchdown.
The landing on runway 06 was executed with a threshold height slightly above target, but the threshold speed was well above the desired value at 158 kt. The touchdown point was located 96 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 148 kt, which was considered fast. The touchdown rate of -204 fpm was deemed fair. Notably, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 m from the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,640 m, accounting for 41% of the 3,989 m runway, was within acceptable parameters. The aircraft's rollout alignment was very good, and the total flight distance of 11 nm was completed in 3 minutes, utilizing 401 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 06 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, with a threshold height of 60 ft agl, slightly above the target. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a heading of 70.0° from the south west at 2 nm and 615 ft agl. The threshold speed of 158 kt was significantly above the target, indicating a high level of pilot control and proficiency.
The touchdown point was located 96 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 148 kt, which was fast. The touchdown rate of -204 fpm was fair, suggesting a moderate deceleration. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control. Local weather conditions were calm, with a temperature of 8 °C, a wind speed of 3 kt at 255°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind.
The total landing distance of 1,640 m was 41% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 92.9%. While there were some minor deviations from the target, the pilots demonstrated good control and proficiency throughout the approach and landing phases.
