Flight Score
Arrival
Steepen the descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft, correcting the height error before it carries into speed and touchdown point.
What happened: Crossed the threshold 28 ft agl above the target, carrying excess speed over the numbers; crossing high and fast like this usually carries the touchdown long too, and this flight touched down 275 m beyond the aim point.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: 50 ft at the threshold.
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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 1,754 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,754 m of the 3,480 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 732 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Stuttgart Airport, the Boeing 737-700 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With the runway 07 at EDDS cleared, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 1,048 meters, or 35% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 152 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 6°C, with a negligible wind of 1 knot from 359°.
As the aircraft climbed away from Stuttgart, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile northwest of Neuhausen auf den Fildern, Germany. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 2,116 feet above sea level to 35,010 feet, an increase of 32,894 feet, in just 13 minutes, covering a distance of 79 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 63 minutes and covered 436 nautical miles, as it flew southeast of Reiselfingen Airfield in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. The enroute descent phase commenced 33 miles east of Cadaques, Spain, and saw the aircraft descend from 34,996 feet to 1,305 feet in 23 minutes, covering 106 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24R at Barcelona-El Prat Airport was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 245.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,285 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on the 2,914-meter runway, with the threshold height at 78 feet above ground level being well above the target. The touchdown point was 316 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 knots, which was slightly fast. However, the touchdown rate of -198 feet per minute was satisfactory, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in approximately 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 629 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 107 minutes and a fuel consumption of 3,750 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport with a speed of 133 kt, slightly above the target value. The touchdown point was located 316 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The aircraft's descent rate of -198 fpm was within acceptable limits, demonstrating good control during the touchdown phase. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline.
Following touchdown, the aircraft began its rollout phase, maintaining perfect alignment with the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,674 m accounted for 57% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. The threshold height at 78 ft agl was significantly above the target value, while the threshold speed of 139 kt was also above the target. However, these deviations did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The approach quality was satisfactory, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 245.0° during the final approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a smooth landing. The overall landing performance earned a score of 87.7%, reflecting a good but not exceptional landing.
