Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 8.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.

Side view — the last 1,946 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,946 m of the 3,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 434 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Zvartnots International Airport (UDYZ) in Armenia, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 27, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,485-meter-long runway, which comprised 38% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots, clearing the ground with a smooth motion.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it passed overhead Arevashat, marking the beginning of its enroute climb phase. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 3,764 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 32,987 feet, a vertical gain of 29,223 feet, in just 14 minutes and covering a distance of 73 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase, which lasted 16 minutes and spanned 125 nautical miles, the aircraft initiated its descent, starting 10 miles north of Sabirabad, Azerbaijan. The descent phase saw the aircraft drop from 32,308 feet to 1,368 feet, a decrease of 30,940 feet, in 24 minutes and covering 130 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Heydar Aliyev International Airport (UBBB), it began its final approach to runway 17 from the north, aligning itself with the runway at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,357 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed smoothly on the 3,284-meter-long runway, with a touchdown distance of 435 meters, which was 57% of the runway's total length. The touchdown speed was slightly higher than optimal at 143 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -112 feet per minute. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 336 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 2,900 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 63 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 17 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed of 143 kt was within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 435 m was also satisfactory, demonstrating the crew's ability to control the descent.
However, the touchdown speed of 143 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a moderate touchdown rate of -112 fpm. Despite this, the touchdown was smooth, indicating a well-coordinated approach. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 6 °C and a light wind of 1 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,869 m, which accounted for 57% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the crew's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 98.5%. The crew's performance was commendable, and the aircraft's handling characteristics were well within the expected range.
