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 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 128 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 124 kt against a VREF of 128 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 128 kt at the stabilisation gate.
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: speed 41 kt FAST on the reference speed of 128 kt.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,209 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 178 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Lomé–Tokoin International Airport, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 22, it was cleared for departure, and the takeoff roll commenced. The aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 146 knots, having covered a distance of 1,580 meters, which represented 53% of the runway length.
As the aircraft climbed away from Lomé, it began its enroute climb, which started at an altitude of 994 feet above sea level and continued to 38,003 feet, an increase of 37,010 feet in 41 minutes. The climb phase covered a distance of 313 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 75 minutes and covered 604 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place 32 miles west of Tanda, Ivory Coast. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 24 miles south of Gaoual, Guinea. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 37,993 feet to 1,404 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 147 nautical miles.
As the Boeing 737-900 began its final approach to runway 21 at Osvaldo Vieira International Airport, it was heading 199.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 121 knots, with a touchdown distance of 170 meters. The touchdown rate was good at -194 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 8.4 meters. Following touchdown, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,071 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 6,824 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 140 minutes.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 21 at GGOV Osvaldo Vieira International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 124 kt was slightly below the target, but still within acceptable limits. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, resulting in a touchdown distance of 170 m, which was considered good. The touchdown speed of 121 kt was also within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -194 fpm was satisfactory.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway, but the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.4 m. This deviation was also observed during the rollout phase, where the aircraft's centreline alignment was off by 8.5 m. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was impressive, with a total landing distance of 713 m, which accounted for only 22% of the runway length.
The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt at 0 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The absence of crosswind and the presence of a slight tailwind of 1 kt further facilitated a smooth touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 96.8%, reflecting the crew's skill and attention to detail in executing a safe and efficient landing.
