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 4.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 38 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 38 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 38 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,194 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 537 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 03 at HKMO Moi International Airport in Mombasa, Kenya. The takeoff distance was 1,769 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 171 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 40 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of HKMO Moi International Airport. The climb took 21 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,245 feet above sea level to 32,221 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,976 feet. The distance covered during this period was 131 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 13 miles southeast of HKLA Manda Point Airstrip in Lamu, Kenya, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 254 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 80 miles south of Marka in Somalia, and the aircraft descended from 32,199 feet above sea level to 1,324 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,875 feet, in 22 minutes. The distance covered during this period was 107 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 05 at HCMM Aden Adde International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 53.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,304 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 05 at HCMM Aden Adde International Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 120 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 138 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -166 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 17 knots at 71 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 16 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,386 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 501 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 86 minutes. The aircraft used 4,610 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at HCMM Aden Adde International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The final approach to runway 05 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 53.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,304 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 148 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown point was located 120 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 138 knots was still within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -166 feet per minute was also deemed good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 4.8 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 71°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 6 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots. These conditions did not seem to pose any significant challenges for the aircraft.
The total landing distance of 1,386 meters was 43% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was reported to be very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled path after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
