Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,744 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 263 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 24 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,598 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 3°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 259°.
As the aircraft climbed out of ELLX, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 69 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 2,242 feet above sea level to 34,002 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,760 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile north of Vottem, Belgium, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile north of Cadzand, The Netherlands, and took 25 minutes to descend from 33,999 feet above sea level to 2,588 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,412 feet. The descent covered a distance of 124 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute level cruise, this time overhead Hastingwood, England, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at EGSS London Stansted Airport was made from the south-west, heading 43.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,376 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 04, which has a length of 2,744 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 137 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 263 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -277 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,189 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.5 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 297 nautical miles, and the flight took 70 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2,402 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EGSS London Stansted Airport, achieving a score of 95.9%. The final approach to runway 04 was conducted from the south west, with a heading of 43.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,376 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 136 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed of 137 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 263 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -277 feet per minute was fair, suggesting a moderate rate of descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.4 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 40°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 1,189 meters was 43% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.5 meters, which may have been due to factors such as pilot error or the aircraft's response to the landing conditions.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor issues with alignment and speed, which may be addressed in future training or operations to improve the aircraft's performance.
