Flight Score
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 207 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 3,037 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 460 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from EDDC Dresden Airport, the Boeing 737-700 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 04, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 18 °C and a gentle wind of 3 kt at 320 °. With a crosswind of 2 kt and no headwind, the aircraft was cleared for takeoff. The takeoff distance of 1,534 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway, was successfully completed, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 149 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from EDDC, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northeast of the airport and continued for 10 minutes, covering a distance of 60 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,620 ft asl to a maximum altitude of 30,003 ft asl, an increase of 28,383 ft. The enroute level cruise phase was initiated 1 mile west of Zoeblitz, lasting 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 30,000 ft asl to 24,465 ft asl, a decrease of 5,535 ft, which was completed in 7 minutes and covered 45 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase was restarted 1 mile north of Weissdorf, lasting 13 minutes and covering 80 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 2 miles east of Dombuhl, and the aircraft descended from 24,008 ft asl to 2,577 ft asl, a decrease of 21,430 ft, which was completed in 15 minutes and covered 79 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached EDDS Stuttgart Airport, it began its final approach to runway 07 from the west, heading 74.0 ° at 4 nautical miles and 1,323 ft agl. The landing was completed with a touchdown speed of 131 kt, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown point was 51 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 998 meters, accounting for 33% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 285 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2,148 kg of fuel during the flight, which lasted 55 minutes.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 07 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -309 fpm, slightly above the target speed of 131 kt. The aircraft's threshold speed of 137 kt was also a little above the desired value. The touchdown point was located 51 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, but the overall approach quality was good, with a good threshold height and a very good runway rollout alignment.
The aircraft's centreline alignment during rollout was excellent, with only a slight deviation of 3.6 m from the centreline. The total landing distance of 998 m was 33% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. The local weather conditions were ideal, with a temperature of 18 °C and a wind speed of 0 kt, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-700 was satisfactory, with a score of 98.1%. While the touchdown speed and point were not ideal, the firm touchdown rate and excellent centreline alignment during rollout were notable positives. The pilot's ability to maintain control and navigate the aircraft to a safe touchdown was evident, despite the slight deviations from the target values.
