Flight Score
Arrival
Apply less back pressure in the flare, easing it in more slowly instead of arresting the sink sharply at 32 ft.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 32 ft, ballooning the aircraft before 214 fpm of sink rate returned as it settled back toward the runway.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: hold a steady, continuous descent through the normal flare band.
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 305 m and 152 m above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,951 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,951 m of the 3,288 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 486 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London Stansted Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 04, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 919 meters, which was 33% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 152 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 29°, resulting in a headwind component of 11 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from London Stansted, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south east of Elsenham, Essex, and continued to ascend to a cruising altitude of 10,950 meters above sea level, an increase of 10,527.4 meters in just 19 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase followed, starting 38 miles north east of Hemsby, Norfolk, and lasted for 43 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 319 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 6 miles south west of EKFU Fur Airstrip Skive, Region Midtjylland, Denmark, and descended to an altitude of 546 meters above sea level, a decrease of 10,405.9 meters in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at Göteborg Landvetter Airport was made from the south west, with the aircraft heading 26.0° at an altitude of 392.5 meters above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was well above the target, at 145 knots, and the touchdown point was 76 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 142 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -1.6 meters per second. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance was 1,876 meters, which was 57% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 573 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 3,911 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 100 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 03 at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport, showcasing a commendable approach quality. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 392.5 meters above ground level (agl) at a heading of 26.0°, approximately 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The approach was characterized by a stable and controlled descent, culminating in a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 142 knots was slightly above the target, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -1.6 meters per second. The touchdown point was located 76 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. Notwithstanding this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill in maintaining a precise approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 6°C and a 5-knot headwind, contributed to a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with a very good alignment along the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,876 meters, accounting for 57% of the runway length, was within acceptable parameters. Overall, the landing was deemed satisfactory, earning a score of 97.3%. The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and alignment during the approach and rollout phases was commendable, resulting in a safe and efficient landing.
