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 1.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 4,001 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 254 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight saw a Boeing 737-600 aircraft depart from Lille Airport (LFQQ) on runway 26. After a short taxiing period, the aircraft took off and climbed to a maximum altitude of 38,988 feet. Over the Templemars area in France, the aircraft began its enroute climb, increasing its altitude from 1,190 feet to 38,988 feet over a distance of 261 nautical miles in 38 minutes.
Upon completing its ascent, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, staying at an altitude of 38,988 feet for 99 minutes as it flew over parts of Germany. After traversing 1,436 nautical miles during this period, the aircraft began its enroute descent. This took place near the area of Talkha in Egypt, where the aircraft descended from its maximum altitude to 1,643 feet over a distance of 74 nautical miles in 12 minutes.
After crossing into Egypt, the aircraft continued on to its final destination, Cairo International Airport (HECA). A final approach was made to runway 05C from the south west, with the aircraft navigating at an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level. Once it reached a point 4 nautical miles away from the runway, the aircraft began its landing process, with a threshold speed of 128 kt and a touchdown speed of 125 kt.
The landing itself was successful, with a touchdown distance of just 254 meters, representing 19% of the runway's length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, but the rollout alignment after landing was described as very good. Following the landing, the aircraft was taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,777 nautical miles and lasted for 155 minutes, consuming 9,915 kg of fuel. Throughout the flight, the aircraft encountered varying weather conditions, with temperatures ranging from 14°C to 28°C, and wind speeds of up to 4 kt. The headwind, crosswind, and tailwind components were also noted to be minimal throughout the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft has successfully landed at HECA Cairo International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The final approach was conducted from the south-west, at a heading of 48.0°, with the aircraft located 4 nautical miles away at an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level. The aircraft was on track to land on runway 05C, which is 4,001 meters long.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft touched down at the recommended height. The threshold speed of 128 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating that the pilots had maintained control and adhered to the standard operating procedures. The touchdown distance of 254 meters was also within the recommended limits, and the touchdown speed of 125 knots was good, indicating a smooth landing.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight crosswind or pilot error. Nonetheless, the touchdown rate of -400 feet per minute was firm and within the acceptable range.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and light winds of 4 knots at 0°. The crosswind and headwind were both 3 knots, which was minimal and did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 765 meters was 19% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had maintained a good rate of descent and control throughout the landing process. The rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating that the pilots had successfully maintained control of the aircraft on the runway and prevented any potential runway excursion.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-600 at HECA Cairo International Airport was successful, with only minor deviations from the ideal landing. The high score of 97.8% reflects the pilots' expertise and adherence to standard operating procedures, and the aircraft's performance in the challenging local weather conditions.
