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 4.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,580 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 217 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 29 at OMFJ Fujairah International Airport. The Boeing 737-700 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,245 meters, which was 33% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were quite hot, with a temperature of 38 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 110 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of OMFJ Fujairah International Airport. The climb took 36 minutes to reach a height of 37,610 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,382 feet from the initial altitude of 1,228 feet. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 229 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 41 miles south of OIBP Persian Gulf International Airport and lasted for 197 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 2,690 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent that began 23 miles north of SB39 Dunkirk. The descent took just 10 minutes to reduce the altitude from 37,848 feet to 2,448 feet, covering a distance of 142 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a short level cruise phase overhead Grimston, lasting just 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27 at EGNX East Midlands Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 268.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,246 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 219 meters, which was 25% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 120 knots, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -57 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were cooler, with a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 230 degrees. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots.
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 3,075 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 251 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 17,463 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at East Midlands Airport (EGNX) on runway 27, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 268.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,246 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were impressive, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 124 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 219 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 120 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's decision to touch down slightly earlier than planned.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the aircraft's touchdown rate was excellent, at -57 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates a gentle and controlled touchdown, which is essential for minimizing the risk of damage to the aircraft and the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions would have required the pilot to make some adjustments to the approach and landing, but they did not appear to have had a significant impact on the outcome.
The total landing distance of 658 meters was only 25% of the runway length, indicating a very short landing roll. This is a testament to the aircraft's excellent braking performance and the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft during the rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent alignment throughout the landing roll.
Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and judgment in controlling the aircraft throughout the entire process.
