Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 5.5 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 6°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

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 3,044 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 277 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 23 at Halifax Stanfield International Airport (CYHZ) in Nova Scotia, Canada. The takeoff distance was 987 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 304°. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting approximately 1 mile southwest of CYHZ, and reached a maximum altitude of 38,327 feet above sea level. The climb phase covered a distance of 354 nautical miles and took 42 minutes to complete, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 1,453 feet to its cruising altitude.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 97 minutes and covered a distance of 1,258 nautical miles. The cruise phase started approximately 39 miles southwest of Parsons Pond (CCP1) in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting at a latitude of 63.1756499 and a longitude of -28.6605241. The descent phase covered a distance of 170 nautical miles and took 20 minutes to complete, with the aircraft descending from a cruising altitude of 38,322 feet to a final altitude of 1,437 feet.
The final approach to runway 19 at Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 180° at an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 120 knots and a touchdown distance of 277 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -222 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 70°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 746 meters, which accounted for 25% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in approximately 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,788 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 167 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 9,088 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) on runway 19. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, achieving a score of 98.3%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 127 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 277 meters was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -222 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more stable rate of descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.3 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the tailwind component was only 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
Overall, the Boeing 737-700 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its landing at Keflavik International Airport, with a score of 98.3%. While there were some minor deviations in the approach and touchdown, the aircraft's performance was generally excellent, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently. The total landing distance of 746 meters was only 25% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and effectively.
