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 11 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 8.3 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 6.6 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit 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 4,002 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 417 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing HBBA Bujumbura Melchior Ndadaye International Airport, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey with a smooth taxiing phase, taking just 2 minutes to reach the runway. As it rolled down runway 17, the aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 134 kt, clearing the ground at 2,165 meters, which was 60% of the runway's length. The local temperature of 24 °C contributed to a favorable takeoff environment.
As the aircraft climbed out of Bujumbura, it began its enroute climb, steadily increasing altitude from 3,548 feet to 39,973 feet over a distance of 336 nautical miles in 43 minutes. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 27 miles northeast of FLNH Kashikishi Airport and lasted for 109 minutes, covering 833 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, reducing altitude from 39,970 feet to 5,045 feet over a distance of 133 nautical miles in 20 minutes. A brief level cruise phase followed, lasting just 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08 at FBSK Sir Seretse Khama International Airport was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 61.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,308 feet above ground level.
The Boeing 737-600 landed smoothly on runway 08, with a touchdown distance of 414 meters, which was well within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 117 kt was slightly above the target, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance of 903 meters accounted for just 23% of the runway's length. Following a quick taxiing phase, the aircraft came to a stop, having covered a total distance of 1,317 nautical miles in 179 minutes and consuming 7,626 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 08 at FBSK Sir Seretse Khama International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach phase to the touchdown phase. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 125 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 414 m, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 117 kt, but the touchdown rate was good at -156 fpm, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.4 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11 °C and a light headwind of 1 kt, were generally favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 903 m was within the acceptable range, accounting for only 23% of the runway length. During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.1 m from the centreline, which may have been a continuation of the issue observed during the touchdown phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 96.5%, indicating a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot.
