Flight Score
Arrival
Shallow the descent on final to re-intercept the glideslope and cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: The aircraft was off the glideslope during the approach, tracking low against the required path.
Watch for: Watch the glideslope indicator and threshold height, targeting 50 ft at 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: sink rate 2,007 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and glideslope 4.9° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,444 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 93 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Aircraft departed from TTCP A.N.R. Robinson International Airport, located in Scarborough, Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago, on runway 11. The takeoff roll was initiated at a temperature of 28 °C, with a wind of 8 kt at 59 °, resulting in a crosswind of 4 kt and a headwind of 7 kt. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 123 kt, utilizing 49% of the available runway length of 1,198 m. The initial climb phase commenced 2 miles east of the airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,079 ft asl to 2,055 ft asl, a vertical gain of 976 ft, in 1 minute and covering 3 nm.
The enroute climb phases were interspersed with level cruise segments, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude for varying durations. The final level cruise segment occurred overhead the airport, lasting 7 minutes and covering 22 nm. The aircraft then initiated a climb phase, ascending from 3,155 ft asl to 4,099 ft asl, a vertical gain of 944 ft, in 2 minutes and covering 4 nm. The descent phase began 9 miles west of the airport, where the aircraft descended from 3,861 ft asl to 1,802 ft asl, a vertical loss of 2,059 ft, in 3 minutes and covering 6 nm.
The aircraft then commenced the final approach to runway 11, aligning with the runway at a heading of 94.0 °, 3 nm from the threshold. The landing was executed at a temperature of 26 °C, with a wind of 10 kt at 48 °, resulting in a crosswind of 7 kt and a headwind of 7 kt. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 115 kt, but the touchdown distance was good at 92 m. The total landing distance was 1,072 m, 44% of the available runway length of 2,444 m. The aircraft utilized 356 kg of fuel for the 66 nm flight, which lasted 25 minutes.
The final approach to runway 11 at TTCP A.N.R. Robinson International Airport was executed from the west, with a heading of 94.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,745 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 115 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 92 meters, but the touchdown speed of 114 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -181 feet per minute was within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind of 10 knots at 48°, contributed to a relatively calm landing environment. The crosswind and headwind components were balanced at 7 knots each, minimizing any potential impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,072 meters was 44% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.7 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 94.9%, reflecting a good performance with some minor deviations from the optimal landing parameters.
