Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,033 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 571 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 747-8 began with a taxi from the parking area to the runway at EDDM Munich, which took 8 minutes to cover 2 nm. The departure roll occurred on runway 26R, with a takeoff distance of 916 m (23% of the runway). The liftoff speed was 145 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 13°C with a wind of 4 kn at 250°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 kn and a headwind of 4 kn.
During the enroute climb, the aircraft started to climb from 2,538 ft asl to 34,712 ft asl over 12 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nm. The enroute level cruise began 2 miles north of Hostoun and lasted for 11 minutes, covering 100 nm. The enroute descent started 1 mile north of Niederau, with the aircraft descending from 34,671 ft asl to 1,920 ft asl over 19 minutes, covering 71 nm.
The landing took place on runway 25L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, with a runway length of 4,033 m. The height at threshold was 41 ft agl, and the speed at threshold was 142 kn. The touchdown occurred 571 m from the threshold with a speed of 135 kn and a VSI of -190 ft/m. The local weather at the time of landing was 17°C with a wind of 2 kn at 259°, resulting in no crosswind and a headwind of 2 kn. The total landing distance was 1,439 m (36% of the runway).
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance covered was 264 nm, and the flight took 68 minutes. A total of 6,939 kg of fuel were used for the entire flight.
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 97.6% is an exceptional achievement and indicative of a very well-executed landing. Let's break down the different phases of the landing to understand why the score was so high.
In the Approach Phase, the pilot showed excellent glideslope alignment, which is crucial for a smooth and safe landing. While the speed was slightly below target, this can be easily adjusted and did not significantly impact the overall score.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, the pilot demonstrated good control over the threshold height, ensuring a smooth transition from descent to touchdown. The landing flare was very good, indicating a well-timed and controlled approach to the runway.
In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was good, and the speed was on target, both of which are key factors in ensuring a safe and controlled landing. The touchdown point being 159 meters beyond the touchdown zone may suggest a slightly longer than usual landing, but this did not affect the overall score significantly. The runway touchdown position being 3.7 meters from the centerline is within acceptable limits and did not impact the score negatively.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 4.0 meters from the centerline is also within acceptable limits and did not detract from the overall performance.
Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of skill and proficiency on the part of the pilot. With just a few minor adjustments, such as speed control in the Approach Phase and fine-tuning the touchdown point and runway alignment, even higher scores can be achieved in future landings. Keep up the excellent work and continue to strive for perfection in all phases of flight!
