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 5.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Track the glideslope with a steeper descent on final whenever high, aiming to cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: The approach was flown above the glideslope, and crossing high like this usually carries extra speed to the threshold and a long touchdown. This flight crossed the threshold 12 kt fast and touched down 155 m long.
Watch for: PAPI or glideslope indicator against threshold height, target 50 ft.
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.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 1.8° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,142 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,142 m of the 2,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 612 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport, where the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft rolled down runway 03, it accelerated to a liftoff speed of 155 knots, clearing the ground at 1,368 meters, which was 57% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 25°C, with a 10-knot headwind and a 2-knot crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its ascent from 1,042 feet above sea level to 36,000 feet, a vertical increase of 34,958 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 136 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was followed by a 76-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft covered 593 nautical miles. The descent phase started 1 mile northeast of Alquife, Spain, where the aircraft descended from 35,422 feet to 5,466 feet in 25 minutes, covering 138 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 10 miles east of Santa Pola, Spain, and lasted 3 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 4,990 feet to 1,266 feet, covering 11 nautical miles.
The Boeing 737-800 then began its final approach to runway 28 at Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport, touching down 204 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 148 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -169 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 2,069 meters, which was 69% of the runway's length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 893 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 5,415 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted 138 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 28 at LEAL Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach. However, the threshold speed was above the target, indicating a slightly aggressive approach. The aircraft's descent was controlled, with a touchdown speed of 148 kt, which was faster than desired. Despite this, the touchdown rate was good at -169 fpm, indicating a controlled deceleration.
The touchdown point was 204 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 31 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 178 °. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 kt, and the headwind was negligible. The aircraft's performance was not significantly affected by the weather.
The total landing distance was 2,069 m, which is 69% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 97.3%. The crew's performance was commendable, given the slightly aggressive approach and the fast touchdown speed.
