MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 111 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 111 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 1.4° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.9° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,081 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 470 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from HHAS Asmara International Airport, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey on runway 07, taking off with a distance of 1,635 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 133 knots, overcoming the local headwind of 2 knots. The temperature at the departure airport was a scorching 38 degrees Celsius, with a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 53 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Asmara, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 40,774 feet in 40 minutes, covering a distance of 300 nautical miles. The climb was a steady ascent from 8,677 feet above sea level, with the aircraft eventually reaching a cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise phase lasted for 253 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 2,123 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 40,994 feet to 4,445 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 166 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at UTSS Samarkand Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft descending from 4,012 feet to 3,454 feet in just 2 minutes. The landing was made on the 3,081-meter runway, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 114 knots and a distance of 439 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -202 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 110.7 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 888 meters, accounting for 29% of the runway. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking just 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,609 nautical miles, covering a distance of 329 minutes and consuming 12,657 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 09 at UTSS Samarkand Airport with a slightly above-target threshold speed of 122 kt. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition into the touchdown phase. However, the touchdown speed of 114 kt was a little fast, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -202 fpm. The touchdown distance of 439 m was satisfactory, but the aircraft's centreline alignment was excessively misaligned by 110.7 m from the runway centreline, indicating a deviation from the desired path.
As the aircraft rolled out, it continued to deviate from the centreline, with a misalignment of 110.6 m. The total landing distance of 888 m was 29% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22 °C and a headwind of 4 kt, did not significantly impact the landing. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 kt.
Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 79.8%. While the touchdown speed and rate were not ideal, the touchdown distance and total landing distance were within acceptable limits. However, the excessive misalignment during the rollout phase detracted from the overall performance, highlighting the need for improvement in the pilot's ability to maintain centreline alignment during the landing phase.
