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 5.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 57 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 57 ft, 12 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,379 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 508 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 24 at Edinburgh Airport (EGPH). The takeoff distance was 1,099 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots at 219°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 11 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Ratho Station, a city in Scotland, and continued to an altitude of 34,997 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 125 nautical miles, took 20 minutes and resulted in an increase of 33,883 feet in altitude.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles south east of Coniston in Cumbria, England. This phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 216 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began 1 mile north west of Warnham in West Sussex, England, and continued to an altitude of 1,702 feet above sea level. This descent, which covered a distance of 134 nautical miles, took 14 minutes and resulted in a decrease of 33,300 feet in altitude.
The final approach to runway 12 at Paris-Beauvais Airport (LFOB) was made from the north west, with a heading of 124.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,352 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 12 was successful, with a touchdown point 94 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 144 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -202 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 12°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 150°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,239 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 483 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 3,693 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LFOB Paris-Beauvais Airport, with a final approach score of 98.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north-west, heading 124.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,352 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 12, which has a length of 2,379 meters. The threshold speed was satisfactory at 147 knots, indicating that the pilot had achieved a suitable speed for landing. However, the touchdown point was 94 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 144 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, which could have resulted in a slightly longer landing distance.
The touchdown rate of -202 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft touched down with a moderate rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the pilot's landing technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 150°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,239 meters was 52% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a high score of 98.8%. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, such as the touchdown point and speed, which may require some adjustments to the pilot's technique.
