Flight Score
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
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 1,000 ft gate: centreline 2.5° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,733 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 414 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from Managua's Augusto C. Sandino International Airport was marked by a smooth taxiing process, taking 3 minutes to cover 1 nautical mile to the runway. The Boeing 737-600 then began its departure roll on runway 10, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 137 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,036 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway, was well within the aircraft's capabilities. Local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius.
As the aircraft climbed out of Managua, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 40,760 feet in 40 minutes, covering a distance of 311 nautical miles. The climb was a steady and efficient process, with the aircraft shedding 39,588 feet of altitude. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 118 minutes and covered 970 nautical miles. This phase was characterized by a stable and efficient flight path, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent altitude and airspeed. The cruise phase was followed by a descent, which began 65 miles north of La Blanquilla Airport in Venezuela. The descent was a controlled and efficient process, with the aircraft shedding 38,275 feet of altitude in 31 minutes, covering a distance of 192 nautical miles.
The final approach to Hewanorra International Airport in Saint Lucia was a textbook example of a well-executed landing. The aircraft began its descent from a height of 4 nautical miles and 1,330 feet above ground level, aligning itself with the runway 10 threshold. The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 117 knots. The touchdown distance of 415 meters was well within the aircraft's capabilities, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking just 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 1,487 nautical miles was achieved in 197 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 8,043 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down smoothly on runway 10 at TLPL Hewanorra International Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in the landing phase. The aircraft's approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved as it descended onto the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 128 kt, which may have been a result of the aircraft's weight or the prevailing wind conditions.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 117 kt, but the touchdown rate was good at -188 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The touchdown distance of 415 m was also good, considering the aircraft's weight and the runway length of 2,585 m. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 29 °C and a headwind of 8 kt, likely contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed.
The Boeing 737-600's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment on the runway. The total landing distance of 824 m, which accounted for 32% of the runway, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was scored 99.8%, reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew. The approach, touchdown, and rollout phases were executed with precision, showcasing the crew's ability to manage the aircraft's performance in a variety of conditions.
