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 7.5 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.
At the 500 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 2,322 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 166 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 26 at FAPE Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,042 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 17 knots at 229°.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile southwest of FAPE Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport. The climb took 35 minutes to reach a maximum altitude of 38,715 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,394 feet from the initial altitude of 1,321 feet above sea level. The enroute climb covered a distance of 272 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began approximately 12 miles southwest of Nako, Maseru, Lesotho. This phase of the flight lasted for 90 minutes and covered a distance of 745 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started approximately 9 miles northeast of FQCM Chimoio Airport, Chimoio, Mozambique. The descent took 14 minutes to reach a maximum altitude of 4,115 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,061 feet from the initial altitude of 39,176 feet above sea level. The enroute descent covered a distance of 189 nautical miles.
The aircraft then continued its descent, which started approximately 10 miles west of FWCL Chileka International Airport, Blantyre, Malawi. This final descent took 1 minute to reach a maximum altitude of 3,736 feet above sea level, a decrease of 379 feet from the initial altitude of 4,115 feet above sea level. The final descent covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 10 at FWCL Chileka International Airport, approaching from the west at a heading of 97.0°. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 28°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 259°.
The aircraft landed on runway 10, which had a length of 2,322 meters. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, and the touchdown distance was 168 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -210 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,219 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 146 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,047 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at FWCL Chileka International Airport, achieving a score of 99.8%. The final approach to runway 10 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 97.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,206 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 130 knots. The touchdown distance of 168 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 126 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate of -210 feet per minute was only fair, indicating that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 259°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 3 knots, which had a negligible effect on the landing.
The total landing distance of 768 meters was only 33% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, showing that the aircraft was well under control during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling during the final approach and touchdown.
