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 6.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,685 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 401 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, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 22 at FNDU Dundo Airport in Angola. The takeoff distance was 1,104 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Dundo Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 0 knots at 126 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both zero. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport and reached an altitude of 39,111 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,502 feet from the initial altitude of 3,609 feet. This climb took 39 minutes and covered a distance of 290 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 34 miles northeast of FZQN Mutshatsha Airport in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This cruise phase lasted for 149 minutes and covered a distance of 1,080 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 8 miles northwest of Vanambouani in the Comoros. The descent took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 145 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 38,901 feet to 1,717 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles east of Dembeni in Mayotte. This short cruise phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34 at FMCZ Dzaoudzi Pamandzi International Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 324.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,031 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 34 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 119 knots and a touchdown distance of 390 meters. The touchdown rate was smooth at -144 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 32°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 330 degrees, with a crosswind component of zero and a headwind component of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 833 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,528 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 209 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 9,166 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at FMCZ Dzaoudzi Pamandzi International Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 34 was executed from the south east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 324.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,031 feet above ground level.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for touchdown. The threshold speed of 126 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 390 meters was also satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 119 knots was within the recommended limits.
The touchdown rate of -144 feet per minute was smooth, indicating that the aircraft was properly controlled during the descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, signifying that the pilots had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 330°, presented a moderate headwind component of 6 knots, but the pilots were able to manage the aircraft's approach and landing successfully.
The total landing distance of 833 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown, minimizing the use of runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-700 at FMCZ Dzaoudzi Pamandzi International Airport was a textbook example of safe and efficient flight operations. The pilots' skills and experience were evident in their ability to manage the aircraft's approach and landing, despite the moderate headwind conditions.
