Flight Score
Hold the approach angle
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,175 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 325 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 747-8, then departed from runway 26R at Leipzig/Halle Airport (EDDP). The takeoff distance was 1,388 meters, which is 39% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 267 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 4 knots. The enroute climb started shortly after takeoff, with the aircraft ascending from 1,530 feet above sea level to 11,959 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,429 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began overhead Milzau, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent from 12,061 feet above sea level to 8,901 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,160 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The flight continued with multiple enroute level cruise and descent phases, with the aircraft passing over various locations in Germany, including Winterberg, Willingen, Brilon, and Lichtenau. Each of these phases involved the aircraft ascending or descending to a specific altitude, covering a certain distance, and lasting for a specific duration.
The final approach to runway 24 at Paderborn Lippstadt Airport (EDLP) began from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 239.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,537 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 24 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 329 meters and a touchdown speed of 174 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -189 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.9 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 169 degrees, with a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,006 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 18.7 meters from the centreline.
The total flight distance was 190 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 46 minutes. The aircraft used 127 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 747-8 aircraft successfully landed at Paderborn Lippstadt Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.9%. The final approach to runway 24 was initiated from the north-east, with a heading of 239.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,537 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 174 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 329 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -189 feet per minute was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating a safe and stable landing.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The threshold speed was well above the target, which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.9 meters from the centerline, which could potentially cause issues with the aircraft's alignment during rollout.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 169°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were likely to have had a minimal impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,006 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 18.7 meters from the centerline, which could potentially cause issues with the aircraft's alignment during taxiing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and within acceptable limits. However, there were some minor issues with the approach and rollout alignment that could be addressed in future landings.
