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 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,131 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 146 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Antalya International Airport, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 36R, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,718-meter runway, which was utilized at 50% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 161 knots, clearing the ground with ease.
As the aircraft climbed away from Antalya, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,223 feet above sea level to 32,222 feet, a vertical gain of 30,998 feet, in just 18 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 114 nautical miles, positioning the aircraft for its enroute cruise. The cruise phase, which lasted 10 minutes, saw the aircraft maintain a steady altitude, covering a further 84 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it initiated its enroute descent, gradually losing altitude from 32,224 feet to 1,773 feet, a decrease of 30,451 feet, in 24 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 131 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at Santorini Airport was executed from the north, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 158.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,664 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed smoothly on the 2,129-meter runway, with a touchdown distance of 150 meters, utilizing 64% of the available runway length. The touchdown speed of 144 knots was within acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was excellent. Following a short taxi to the parking area, the aircraft came to a stop, having completed a total flight distance of 339 nautical miles, using 3,273 kilograms of fuel in the process, and taking a total of 65 minutes to complete the journey.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 15 at LGSR Santorini Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft was established on the final approach from the north, heading 158.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,664 feet above ground level. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 144 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 150 meters was also good, indicating a well-executed landing. However, the touchdown rate of -603 feet per minute was heavy, suggesting a slightly steeper descent than intended. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle tailwind of 5 knots, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,360 meters was 64% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 96.0%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot.
