Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,735 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 294 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 10 at SBSN Santarém - Maestro Wilson Fonseca International Airport in Brazil. The takeoff distance was 1,047 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 30°C and winds of 8 knots at 90°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started immediately after takeoff, with the aircraft ascending from 1,040 feet above sea level to 37,902 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,862 feet in 43 minutes and covering 299 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 12 miles southeast of Kwamalasoemoetoe Airport in Suriname and lasted for 146 minutes, covering 946 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 111 miles southwest of Oranjestad in the Caribbean Netherlands, descending from 37,984 feet above sea level to 2,029 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,955 feet in 16 minutes and covering 99 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 11 miles southwest of Henry E Rohlsen Airport in the United States Virgin Islands and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 10 at Henry E Rohlsen Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 84.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 10 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 293 meters and a touchdown speed of 127 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -201 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 28°C and winds of 6 knots at 100°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 784 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,358 nautical miles, taking 198 minutes and using 8,755 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at TISX Henry E Rohlsen Airport, achieving a score of 99.8%. The final approach to runway 10 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 84.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 132 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed of 127 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -201 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing phase.
The total landing distance of 784 meters was 29% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and management throughout the landing phase.
