Flight Score
Arrival
Apply small rudder corrections at touchdown, aiming at a point at the far end of the runway, to stay on the centreline.
What happened: Touchdown drifted 5.3 m off the centreline, and landings like this usually carry that drift into the rollout, where the alignment error grew to 7.2 m.
Watch for: Runway centreline: aircraft tracking directly over it through touchdown and rollout.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,001 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 350 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hong Kong International Airport, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As it reached the runway, the aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 25C, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 140 knots. The takeoff distance of 875 meters was achieved at 25% of the runway length, with a local temperature of 30°C and wind conditions of 5 knots at 189°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 328 nautical miles in 52 minutes, increasing its altitude from 980 feet above sea level to 43,432 feet. The climb was followed by a series of level cruises, with the aircraft maintaining its altitude for various periods of time. Notably, the second level cruise lasted for 91 minutes, covering a distance of 626 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, gradually decreasing its altitude to prepare for landing. The final approach to runway 05 at Francisco Bangoy International Airport was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 49.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,333 feet above ground level.
The Boeing 737-600 landed safely on runway 05, with a touchdown distance of 344 meters and a touchdown speed of 122 knots, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off-center. The aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,203 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 184 minutes and a fuel consumption of 6,532 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 05 at RPMD Francisco Bangoy International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed of 128 kt was within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown speed of 122 kt was slightly above the desired range, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -216 fpm.
The aircraft's touchdown distance of 344 m was within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing phase. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.2 m from the centreline, which was also reflected in the runway rollout alignment, deviating by 8.8 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 31 °C and a light wind of 4 kt at 180 °, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The overall performance of the crew and the aircraft resulted in a score of 96.8%, indicating a high level of proficiency and control during the landing phase. The total landing distance of 858 m, which accounted for 29% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was executed with good control and precision, although there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown position and speed.
