Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 183 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 157 kt against a target of 183 kt, running 26 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 183 kt.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 126 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 140 kt against a target of 126 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 126 kt at the threshold.
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,894 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,894 m of the 4,001 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 507 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Poprad-Tatry Airport, LZTT, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey with a taxiing period of 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 27, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 138 knots after a takeoff distance of 1,037 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a gentle headwind of 3 knots from a direction of 280°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it traversed a distance of 363 nautical miles in 46 minutes, ascending from 3,327 feet above sea level to 41,010 feet. The enroute level cruise phase commenced overhead Magurele, Romania, and lasted for 125 minutes, covering a distance of 1,078 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 40,658 feet to 1,472 feet in 20 minutes, while covering a distance of 141 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 33R at Baghdad International Airport, ORBI, was conducted from the southeast, with the aircraft aligning itself with the runway at a height of 1,350 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed well above the target, at 140 knots. The touchdown point was 79 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots, which was slightly faster than desired. However, the touchdown rate of -163 feet per minute was satisfactory. The runway touchdown alignment was excellent, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total landing distance was 1,801 meters, accounting for 45% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,590 nautical miles, with a total fuel consumption of 8,392 kilograms, and a flight duration of 199 minutes.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 33R at ORBI Baghdad International Airport / New Al Muthana Air Base with a satisfactory approach quality, despite a slightly high threshold speed of 140 kt, exceeding the target by a considerable margin. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, allowing for a controlled descent onto the runway. The touchdown point was located 79 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun.
The touchdown speed of 129 kt was a little faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -163 fpm was within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill in maintaining a stable approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 35 °C and a headwind of 7 kt, presented a challenging environment for the landing. However, the aircraft's performance was not significantly affected by the wind conditions, with a crosswind of only 2 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,801 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 99.4%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance ensured a safe and controlled landing.
