Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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 80 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 80 ft, 35 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,155 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,155 m of the 2,744 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,244 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 24 at Shannon Airport (EINN) in Ireland. The aircraft, a B38M, took off with a takeoff speed of 170 knots and a takeoff distance of 1,289 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots from a southeasterly direction, resulting in a headwind of 16 knots and a crosswind of 10 knots.
The climb phase of the flight started immediately after taking off from Shannon Airport, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 1,120 feet above sea level to 31,205 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,085 feet in 15 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 86 nautical miles.
The next segment of the flight was the enroute level cruise, which began 3 miles south of EILO ILAS Wexford Loch Garman in the Republic of Ireland. This cruise phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 41 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent phase, initially from 31,250 feet above sea level to 17,161 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,089 feet in 14 minutes, covering 89 nautical miles.
The flight continued with subsequent enroute level cruise segments, starting 1 mile north east of Llantwit Fardre in Wales and lasting 10 minutes, covering 59 nautical miles. Another descent phase began 1 mile north east of Pewsey in England, with the aircraft descending from 16,968 feet above sea level to 6,299 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,669 feet in 11 minutes, covering 55 nautical miles.
The flight then entered its final segments of enroute level cruise, starting 1 mile south east of Wembley in England and lasting 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent phase from 6,298 feet above sea level to 2,515 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,783 feet in 3 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles.
The last enroute level cruise segment began 1 mile south west of Manuden in England and lasted for 8 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The flight then entered its final approach phase and landed on runway 22 at London Stansted Airport (EGSS), a distance of 2,744 meters.
The final approach to runway 22 was made from the north east, with the aircraft heading 223.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 29 knots from a southeasterly direction, resulting in a crosswind of 26 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft landed 780 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 123 knots and a touchdown rate of -253 feet per minute, which was deemed fair.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 30.3 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 2,026 meters, accounting for 74% of the runway. The total flight distance was 369 nautical miles, taking 73 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,660 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, identified as B38M, has successfully landed at EGSS London Stansted Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 223.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's speed and altitude were well within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 22, which has a length of 2,744 meters. The threshold height at 120 feet agl was found to be excessively over target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the landing. However, the threshold speed of 136 knots was good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was able to slow down the aircraft in a timely manner.
The touchdown point was located 780 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal landing spot. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was able to slow down the aircraft in a timely manner. However, the touchdown rate of -253 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly rough landing.
In addition to the deviations in landing parameters, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot may have had some difficulty aligning the aircraft with the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C, a wind speed of 29 knots at 160°, and a crosswind of 26 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
The total landing distance of 2,026 meters was 74% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 30.3 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot may have had some difficulty maintaining control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the aircraft was able to land safely, there were several deviations from the ideal landing parameters that suggest the pilot may have had some difficulty maintaining control of the aircraft during the landing.
