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 5.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 267 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 350 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,448 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 607 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol took approximately 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 24, utilizing 1,546 meters, or 48% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 152 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 30 knots from a direction of 310°, resulting in a crosswind component of 29 knots and a headwind component of 9 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it reached an enroute climb phase, initiated overhead Aalsmeerderbrug, Provincie Noord-Holland, The Netherlands. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from 1,015 feet above sea level to 5,886 feet, an increase of 4,870 feet, in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles, before commencing its enroute descent phase. The descent phase began 1 mile northwest of Halfweg, Provincie Noord-Holland, The Netherlands, and saw the aircraft decrease in altitude from 6,020 feet to 1,462 feet, a decrease of 4,557 feet, in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was initiated from the east, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 267.0°, 4 nautical miles from the runway, and 1,460 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was required to execute a go-around, initially at 445 feet agl, and subsequently at 410 feet agl. Following the second go-around, the aircraft successfully landed on runway 27, which featured a length of 3,352 meters. The touchdown point was 199 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was firm at -343 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 100 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 33 minutes, and the aircraft utilized 1,620 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 27 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol with a threshold speed slightly above the target of 130 kt. The approach quality was good, with a threshold height that met expectations. The aircraft was established on the final approach to the runway from the east, heading 267.0° at 4 nm and 1,460 ft above ground level. The landing was made on a runway length of 3,352 m, with a firm touchdown rate of -343 fpm, which was a little higher than desired.
The touchdown point was 199 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.4 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the over-run. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 9 °C and a wind of 21 kt at 330°, resulting in a crosswind of 19 kt and a headwind of 9 kt. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's alignment and touchdown characteristics.
Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 91.7%. While the touchdown speed was a little fast and the runway touchdown position was misaligned, the approach quality and threshold height were good. The aircraft's ability to maintain control and touch down safely on the runway was demonstrated, despite the challenging weather conditions.
