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 5.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Leave the power coming off through the flare, and add none back once you are over the threshold.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 128 kt and touched down at 137 kt: it gained 9 kt where a flare normally loses speed.
Watch for: Airspeed: falling steadily from the threshold to the touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,606 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 434 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 06 at ULAM Naryan Mar Airport in Russia. The takeoff distance was 935 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 226°.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of ULAM Naryan Mar Airport. The climb took 42 minutes and covered a distance of 266 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,088 feet above sea level to 39,925 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,836 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 15 miles south of ULBQ Soyana Airfield in Russia. This phase lasted for 234 minutes and covered a distance of 1,486 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile northeast of Sainte-Ode in Belgium. The descent took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 109 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 39,903 feet above sea level to 4,387 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,516 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Mareuil-sur-Ourcq in France and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile east of Etrepilly in France. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 4,002 feet above sea level to 1,597 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,405 feet.
The final approach to runway 26R at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 265.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,232 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 434 meters, which was 23% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 138 knots, which was slightly faster than the threshold speed, but the touchdown rate was good at -182 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 190°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 842 meters, and the aircraft used 11,083 kilograms of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a total distance of 1,886 nautical miles and took 279 minutes. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The Boeing 737-700 successfully landed on runway 26R at the Charles de Gaulle International Airport, achieving a score of 98.7%. This impressive performance was a result of the aircraft's precise navigation and control during the final approach.
The aircraft began its final approach from the east, at a heading of 265.0°, and was at an altitude of 1,232 feet above ground level, approximately 4 nautical miles from the runway. The crew maintained a good threshold height, which ensured a smooth and controlled descent onto the runway. The threshold speed of 129 knots was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's distance was measured as 434 meters, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate. Fortunately, the touchdown rate of -182 feet per minute was still within the acceptable limits, and the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway in a controlled manner.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 8°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 190°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 842 meters was 23% of the runway length, which is a relatively short landing distance. This indicates that the aircraft was well-controlled and landed smoothly, with minimal deceleration required during the rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the crew's expertise and control of the aircraft during the landing process.
Overall, the Boeing 737-700's landing on runway 26R at Charles de Gaulle International Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and touchdown. The crew's skills and the aircraft's performance combined to achieve a high score of 98.7%, showcasing the safety and precision of modern commercial aviation.
