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 36 ft.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 36 ft, 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
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 13 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 13 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 13 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 5,742 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,742 ft of the 9,559 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,235 ft 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 to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 26L at London Gatwick Airport (EGKK). The takeoff distance was 5,328 feet, which was 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 69°F and winds of 9 knots at 157°. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of Charlwood, Surrey, England, where the aircraft climbed from 1,251 feet above sea level to 4,990 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,739 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile southwest of Ockley, Surrey, England, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time overhead Barns Green, West Sussex, England, where it climbed from 4,985 feet above sea level to 6,044 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,059 feet in 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Washington, West Sussex, England, and lasted 3 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time 9 miles south of Hove, Brighton and Hove, England, where it climbed from 6,607 feet above sea level to 32,407 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,800 feet in 18 minutes, covering 131 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Jumeauville, Ile-de-France, France, and lasted 48 minutes, covering 371 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 6 miles northwest of Formigueres, Occitanie, France, where it descended from 33,066 feet above sea level to 5,151 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,915 feet in 21 minutes, covering 98 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles southeast of Coma-ruga, Catalunya, Spain, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles south of Cubelles, Catalunya, Spain, where it descended from 4,410 feet above sea level to 1,294 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,116 feet in 5 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06L at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport (LEBL) was from the southwest, heading 66.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 06L was successful, with a touchdown point 874 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -164 feet per minute, also good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 75°F and winds of 4 knots at 80°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 5,481 feet, which was 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 661 nautical miles, taking 116 minutes, and the aircraft used 11,196
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, achieving a high score of 95.4%. The final approach to runway 06L was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 66.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 142 knots. The touchdown point was located 874 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -164 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 80°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions contributed to a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 5,481 feet was 57% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to land safely and efficiently, with a good runway rollout alignment. The rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport was satisfactory, with a high score of 95.4%. The aircraft's approach and landing performance were good, and the local weather conditions were favorable, contributing to a safe and efficient landing.
