Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 19 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 19 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Arrival
Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.
Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 6.4° with no reversals.
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline, wings not level and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,434 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 684 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 area to the runway, which took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a 340 passenger plane, then departed from runway 23L at Manchester Airport (EGCC). The takeoff distance was 674 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 25 knots at 219 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 25 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Mobberley in Cheshire East, England, where the aircraft climbed from 936 feet above sea level to 1,772 feet, an increase of 836 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile east of Alderley Edge in Cheshire East, England, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent overhead Droylsden in the Borough of Tameside, England, where it descended from 2,120 feet above sea level to 845 feet, a decrease of 1,275 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23R at Manchester Airport was made from the north-east, heading 230 degrees, at an altitude of 620 feet above ground level and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 86 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -104 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots at 220 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The touchdown point was 248 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the total landing distance was 842 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The aircraft used a total of 31 nautical miles of fuel and consumed -1 kilogram of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 18 minutes.
The aircraft, a commercial airliner with a capacity of 340 passengers, successfully landed at Manchester Airport (EGCC) on runway 23R. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 230.0° at an altitude of 620 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course, aligning perfectly with the runway touchdown zone.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 118 knots, registering at 118 kt. However, the touchdown speed of 86 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -104 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, demonstrating a gentle and stable landing.
The landing distance of 842 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway length, was within the acceptable parameters. The runway length of 2,434 meters provided ample space for the aircraft to come to a stop, and the touchdown point was 248 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. This slight overrun was not considered a concern, given the overall smoothness of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from 220°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 13 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach and landing.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, bringing the aircraft to a stop without any deviation from the centerline. Overall, the landing was considered a success, with a score of 96.7% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilots.
