Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 154 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 172 kt against a rotation target of 154 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 154 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 132 kt well before the gate.
What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 138 kt against the 132 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 695 m against the 457 m target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 132 kt at the threshold
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: speed 37 kt FAST on the reference speed of 132 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 18 kt FAST on the reference speed of 132 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,198 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 695 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from FZAA Ndjili International Airport in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, with a taxiing time of 8 minutes and a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then rolled onto runway 06, utilizing 63% of the 2,088-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 172 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 34°C, with a gentle tailwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Kinshasa, it began its enroute climb at an altitude of 1,978 feet above sea level, increasing to 4,480 feet in just 1 minute and covering 3 nautical miles. The climb continued in stages, with the aircraft reaching a cruising altitude of 37,010 feet above sea level after a 24-minute climb from 4,507 feet. The enroute level cruise phase lasted for 76 minutes, covering a distance of 539 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent into FZQA Lubumbashi International Airport, reducing its altitude from 37,013 feet to 6,470 feet in 20 minutes and covering 121 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at FZQA Lubumbashi International Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft touching down 287 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 130 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -362 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,337 meters, utilizing 42% of the 3,198-meter runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 6 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 847 nautical miles, with a flight time of 139 minutes and a fuel consumption of 5,301 kilograms.
The aircraft, fnx-aircraft-320-CAACongo-CFM, successfully executed a final approach to runway 07 at FZQA Lubumbashi International Airport from the south west, aligning with the runway at a heading of 66.0° at 4 nm and 1,340 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 139 kt. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down at a speed of 130 kt and a firm rate of -362 fpm.
The touchdown point was located 287 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. However, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 3.4 m from the centreline, demonstrating good control during the landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and a wind of 2 kt at 242°, contributed to a relatively calm environment, with a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind of 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,337 m, accounting for 42% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing performance of the aircraft was satisfactory, earning a score of 95.2%.
