Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 125 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 141 kt against a rotation target of 125 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 125 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 25 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 25 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 25 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,530 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,530 m of the 3,506 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,057 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 12 at OMDW Al Maktoum International Airport, located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The takeoff distance was 885 meters, which is 20% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started at an altitude of 1,151 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 48,879 feet above sea level, an increase of 47,728 feet in 27 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 190 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 129 degrees.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles southeast of Sufalat Sama'il, Oman. This phase lasted for 95 minutes and covered a distance of 1,514 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 48 miles west of Puttalam, Sri Lanka, and descending from 49,370 feet above sea level to 9,332 feet above sea level, a decrease of 40,039 feet in 20 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 135 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 19 miles northwest of Tangalle, Sri Lanka, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent phase, starting 12 miles north of Tangalle, and descending from 9,341 feet above sea level to 2,452 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,889 feet in 5 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 20 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 9 miles east of Tangalle, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent phase, starting 8 miles southwest of VCRI Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport, and descending from 2,590 feet above sea level to 1,427 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,163 feet in 2 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at VCRI Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 46.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 05, which has a length of 3,506 meters. The threshold height at 93 feet above ground level was significantly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 115 knots.
The touchdown point was 613 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 103 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -87 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 260 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the tailwind was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,421 meters, which is 69% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 21.9 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 1,890 nautical miles, taking 165 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,954 kilograms of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at VCRI Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport, but the landing was not without some issues. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 46.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level. The final approach was conducted with a threshold height that was significantly above the target, which could have posed a challenge for the pilots.
Despite this, the threshold speed was good at 115 knots, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the approach. The touchdown point was 613 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 103 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -87 feet per minute was excellent, indicating that the pilots were able to bring the aircraft down safely.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 260°. The crosswind was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind was 4 knots, which could have contributed to the deviation from the centerline during the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.3 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to the wind conditions.
The total landing distance was 2,421 meters, which is 69% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilots were able to bring the aircraft down safely and efficiently. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 21.9 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to the pilots' difficulty in maintaining control of the aircraft during the rollout.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilots were able to bring the aircraft down safely and efficiently. However, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining control of the aircraft during the rollout.
