Flight Score
Work on the flare
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 784 m past the threshold — beyond 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 33 at LFSB EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, with a takeoff distance of 926 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 32 knots from a direction of 250°. This resulted in a crosswind of 32 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north-east of Bartenheim, France, and climbing from an altitude of 1,681 feet above sea level to 22,216 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,535 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles west of Schonach im Schwarzwald, Germany, and lasting 11 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, starting 1 mile east of Neuenstadt am Kocher, Germany, and descending from 22,007 feet above sea level to 4,256 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,751 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 71 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile north-west of Mombris, Germany, and lasting 9 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its second descent, starting overhead Hanau am Main, Germany, and descending from 4,993 feet above sea level to 1,712 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,281 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was made from the east, heading 250.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,365 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 25R, which had a length of 2,795 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was well above the target at 133 knots. The touchdown point was 366 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 115 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -314 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 200°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,272 meters, which was 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 269 nautical miles, taking 61 minutes, and the aircraft used 942 kilograms of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 25R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport, achieving a score of 90.8%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,365 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, with a threshold height that was considered good.
However, there were some areas for improvement in the landing. The threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 133 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed during the final approach. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 115 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate was indeed firm, at -314 feet per minute (fpm), which is a relatively high rate. This may have been due to the aircraft's speed and the pilot's decision to maintain a steeper descent angle. Furthermore, the touchdown point was 366 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to extend the landing or the aircraft's speed and altitude at the time of touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, being 5.6 meters off the centerline. This may have been due to the pilot's decision to align the aircraft with the runway or the aircraft's response to crosswind and headwind conditions.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and winds of 16 knots at 200°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing, particularly in terms of alignment and touchdown point.
Despite these areas for improvement, the aircraft's runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. The total landing distance was 1,272 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and safely. Overall, while there were some areas for improvement, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 90.8%.
