Flight Score
Arrival
Add power earlier on final to hold VREF of 117 kt by the gates rather than let speed decay.
What happened: The approach was flown too slow through the stabilisation gates, crossing the threshold at 116 kt against a VREF of 117 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 117 kt from the first stabilisation gate onward.
See Arrival Approach
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 500 ft gate: sink rate 1,398 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 117 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,301 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,301 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 384 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from OMDW Al Maktoum International Airport, the aircraft began its taxiing process, taking 10 minutes to cover 2 nautical miles to the runway. With a local temperature of 42 °C and a headwind of 12 kt, the aircraft took off from runway 30, utilizing 27% of the 1,197-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 142 kt. The climb phase commenced shortly after departure, with the aircraft ascending from 1,046 ft to 39,996 ft in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it entered the enroute level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude of 39,996 ft for 233 minutes while covering a significant distance of 1,680 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 39,568 ft to 1,559 ft in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24 at LGSV Stefanovikio Air Base was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 241.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,400 ft above ground level.
The aircraft landed safely on runway 24, utilizing 51% of the 1,301-meter runway. The touchdown speed of 104 kt was slightly above the target, while the touchdown rate of -298 fpm was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was excellent, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. Following a taxiing time of 1 minute, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 1,910 nautical miles in 272 minutes, utilizing 4,134 kg of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 24 at LGSV Stefanovikio Air Base with a very good runway touchdown alignment, indicating precise control and adherence to the centreline. The threshold height was satisfactory, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 116 kt was slightly above the target, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed of 104 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 384 m was within acceptable limits.
The aircraft's descent rate of -298 fpm was fair, suggesting a moderate rate of descent during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 32 °C and a crosswind of 2 kt, were relatively calm, allowing for a stable approach. The tailwind component of 11 kt may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed. The total landing distance of 660 m, which accounted for 51% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
The rollout phase was characterized by very good runway alignment, indicating precise control and adherence to the centreline. The overall performance of the aircraft during the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 98.6%. The approach quality was good, with a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. However, the slightly fast touchdown speed and fair descent rate may be areas for improvement in future landings.
