Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 98 m past the target, landing at 555 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
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 2,855 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 555 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Tribhuvan International Airport (VNKT) in Kathmandu, Nepal, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey with a taxiing period of 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. As it reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 02, utilizing 40% of the available runway length. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 137 knots, clearing the ground at the designated point.
As the aircraft climbed away from Kathmandu, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 5,423 feet above sea level to 40,935 feet in 39 minutes, covering a distance of 311 nautical miles. The climb phase was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with the aircraft rising by 35,512 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 40,935 feet for 124 minutes as it traversed 1,019 nautical miles. The cruise phase was punctuated by a brief descent and subsequent climb, as the aircraft adjusted its altitude to comply with air traffic control requirements.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Phnom Penh International Airport (VDPP), it initiated a descent from 40,997 feet, reducing its altitude to 2,998 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 164 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 was executed from the north-east, with the aircraft aligning itself with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,243 feet above ground level. The landing was characterized by a slightly fast touchdown speed of 114 knots, but an excellent touchdown rate of -99 feet per minute. The aircraft touched down 132 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a runway touchdown position that was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 989 meters, accounting for 35% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing its journey with a total distance of 1,520 nautical miles and a fuel consumption of 7,981 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 23 at VDPP Phnom Penh International Airport, showcasing a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 125 kt, indicating a minor deviation from the optimal approach speed. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, with a touchdown speed of 114 kt, which was a little fast, but still within acceptable limits.
The touchdown point was 132 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The touchdown rate of -99 fpm was excellent, demonstrating precise control and a smooth landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 m from the centreline, which could be attributed to minor deviations in the approach or during the final stages of the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a relatively stable approach.
The total landing distance of 989 m was 35% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 97.7%. While there were minor deviations in the approach and touchdown characteristics, the pilot demonstrated good control and precision, resulting in a smooth and safe landing.
