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 16 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 75 ft agl, above the 50 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against 50 ft at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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 1,802 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,802 m of the 4,304 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 449 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Sana'a International Airport, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 36, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 24 °C, with a wind speed of 14 kt at 53°. The aircraft took off with a liftoff speed of 160 kt, utilizing 82% of the 2,669-meter runway.
As the aircraft climbed out of Sana'a, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 36,290 feet above sea level in 30 minutes, covering a distance of 205 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with the aircraft rising by 28,439 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 76 minutes and covered a distance of 606 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent, which began 28 miles south of Al Ain Airport and saw the aircraft descend from 36,309 feet to 1,342 feet above sea level in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Dubai International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 30L from the southeast, heading 301.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,308 feet above ground level. The landing was characterized by a touchdown speed of 150 kt, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was 431 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline. The aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 942 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 7,032 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 141 minutes.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 30L at OMDB Dubai International Airport, marking a satisfactory conclusion to the approach from the south east. The aircraft's descent was characterized by a slightly high threshold height of 75 ft agl, exceeding the target by a considerable margin. However, the threshold speed of 153 kt was well within acceptable limits, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it became apparent that the touchdown speed of 150 kt was slightly above the optimal range, contributing to a heavy touchdown rate of -604 fpm. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 431 m was deemed satisfactory, indicating a reasonable degree of control during the final stages of the approach. The runway touchdown position was found to be slightly misaligned by 6.2 m from the centreline, although this deviation was not considered significant.
Following touchdown, the aircraft's rollout was marked by a slight misalignment from the centreline, with a deviation of 10.2 m. The total landing distance of 1,698 m, accounting for 47% of the runway length, was considered acceptable. Overall, the landing was evaluated at 84.6%, reflecting a satisfactory performance in terms of approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and rollout alignment, despite some minor deviations from optimal parameters.
