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 9.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 0.1 ft, and this flight then touched down at 257 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
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 seven checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,769 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,769 m of the 3,509 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 448 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 to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 24R at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,531 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 150 degrees. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was zero. As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile west of LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 69 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 322 meters above sea level to 9,228 meters above sea level, an increase of 8,905.9 meters.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south west of LEMH Menorca Airport. This phase lasted for 41 minutes and covered a distance of 316 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 28 miles south east of Varigotti, Italy. The descent took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 87 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 9,177 meters above sea level to 1,270 meters above sea level, a decrease of 7,907.5 meters.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north west of Gambolo, Italy, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile south of Cerano, Italy. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,185 meters above sea level to 594 meters above sea level, a decrease of 590.6 meters.
The final approach to runway 35L at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 348.0 degrees at an altitude of 369.9 meters above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was made on runway 35L, which had a length of 3,509 meters. The threshold height was well above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 450 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -2.2 meters per second. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 210 degrees. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,696 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 497 nautical miles, which was covered in 92 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,165 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 35L at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport, achieving a score of 89.0%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 348.0° at an altitude of 369.9 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 142 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 450 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -2.2 meters per second was classified as hard, suggesting a more abrupt touchdown than desired.
The runway touchdown position was found to be misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline, indicating a deviation from the desired path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth touchdown and rollout.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, including the hard touchdown rate and the misaligned touchdown and rollout positions. However, the aircraft's performance was still considered good, and the score of 89.0% reflects a high level of proficiency.
