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 13°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 97 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 97 ft, 52 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,480 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 218 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at ZYHB Harbin Taiping International Airport. The Boeing 737-800 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,237 meters, which was 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 300 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed out of Harbin, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an initial altitude of 1,479 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 38,580 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,101 feet in 38 minutes, covering a distance of 297 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began 27 miles southwest of Bira, Russia, and lasted for 59 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,445 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started 73 miles north of Kamenskoye, Russia, and took the aircraft from a maximum altitude of 38,812 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 1,437 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,375 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 283 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 01 at UHMA Ugolny Yuri Ryktheu Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 15.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 01 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 218 meters, which was 19% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 123 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -166 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 80 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,031 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 113 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 11,160 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at UHMA Ugolny Yuri Ryktheu Airport, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 01 from the south, heading 15.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,252 feet above ground level (agl), set the stage for a smooth touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 123 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 127 knots. However, this minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 218 meters was well within the acceptable range, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 80°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 678 meters was only 19% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at UHMA Ugolny Yuri Ryktheu Airport was a success, with a high score of 99.9%. The aircraft's performance was characterized by a smooth and controlled approach, a good touchdown speed, and a short landing distance. The pilots' skills and experience were evident in their ability to navigate the aircraft through the challenging weather conditions and achieve a perfect touchdown alignment.
