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 5.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,342 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 463 m touchdown sits inside 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 04 at VTSB Surat Thani Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,545 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and winds of 4 knots at 94 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was also 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of VTSB Surat Thani Airport. The climb took 41 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 977 feet above sea level to 36,979 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,003 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 299 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 25 miles southwest of Wang Nam Yen in Thailand. This phase lasted for 134 minutes and covered a distance of 1,176 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 33 miles southwest of RCCM Qimei in Taiwan. The descent took 7 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 37,003 feet above sea level to 32,688 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,315 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 58 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 10 miles southeast of RCQC Penghu Magong Airport in Taiwan. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its enroute descent once again, starting 10 miles southeast of RCQC Penghu Magong Airport. The descent took 18 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 32,688 feet above sea level to 2,498 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,190 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles north of Hsinchu in Taiwan. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent once again, starting 7 miles west of Z28U Highway Strip 58 60 Taipei in Taiwan. The descent took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 2,494 feet above sea level to 1,425 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,070 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05R at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 49.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,324 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 05R, which had a length of 3,342 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 142 knots. The touchdown point was 49 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -240 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and winds of 6 knots at 30 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 957 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.6%. The final approach to runway 05R was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 49.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,324 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 142 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, located 49 meters past the threshold. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting a well-executed landing.
Despite the good touchdown speed, the touchdown rate of -240 feet per minute was considered fair, indicating a slightly steeper descent than desired. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from a direction of 30°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 957 meters was 29% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability during the final approach and touchdown. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, which may be addressed through further training and practice.
