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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,054 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 418 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 area to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 16 at SBCF Tancredo Neves International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,422 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23°C, a wind speed of 1 knot at 120°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 2 miles northwest of Vespasiano, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The climb started from an altitude of 3,762 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 38,889 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,127 feet in 40 minutes, covering a distance of 295 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 75 miles southeast of Conceição da Barra, Espírito Santo, Brazil, and lasted for 178 minutes, covering a distance of 1,422 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft started its enroute descent at a location defined by latitude -7.1633474 and longitude -17.7087044. The descent from 38,999 feet above sea level to 1,814 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,184 feet in 13 minutes, covered a distance of 199 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13 at FHAW RAF Ascension Island was made from the north-west, heading 125.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,561 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 13 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 419 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate of -241 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27°C, a wind speed of 8 knots at 140°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 909 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,923 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 239 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 10,693 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 13 at FHAW RAF Ascension Island, achieving a score of 99.4%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 125.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,561 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 3,054 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 419 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -241 feet per minute (fpm) was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 140°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 909 meters, which is approximately 30% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling characteristics.
