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 9.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 28 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 28 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 28 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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 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 2,091 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,091 m of the 2,985 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 809 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from GCRR César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport, where it taxied for 10 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles before commencing its departure roll on runway 03. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 160 knots, utilizing 61% of the 1,465-meter runway. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 19 °C, with a 14-knot headwind and a crosswind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it began its ascent 1 mile northeast of the airport, rising from 1,048 feet above sea level to 37,990 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted 83 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 593 nautical miles. The descent phase that preceded the final approach began 2 miles west of Lugros, with the aircraft descending from 38,001 feet to 27,003 feet in 11 minutes, covering 68 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 28 at LEAL Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport was conducted from the east, with the aircraft touching down 369 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 144 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -67 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,987 meters, accounting for 67% of the 2,985-meter runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 7 minutes, covering 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 903 nautical miles, with a flight time of 154 minutes and a fuel consumption of 5,603 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 28 at LEAL Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport, with a threshold height significantly above the target at 86 ft agl. The aircraft's approach quality was compromised by this excessive height, which may have contributed to a slightly higher than desired threshold speed of 155 kt. This speed was well above the target, indicating a potentially aggressive approach.
The touchdown point was located 369 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 144 kt, which was fast. However, the touchdown rate of -67 fpm was excellent, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing phase. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 m from the centreline, which may have been a result of the crosswind conditions. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a headwind of 13 kt, were relatively calm, with a crosswind of 5 kt and a tailwind component of 8 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,987 m was 67% of the runway length, indicating a relatively long rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 84.0%. While there were some areas for improvement, such as the excessive threshold height and speed, the pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the landing phase.
