The flight began with a departure roll from runway 33R at Kuwait International Airport, with the Boeing 737-800 aircraft taking off after a distance of 1,298 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it reached a speed of 157 knots and began its enroute climb, which started overhead Kuwait International Airport. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,236 feet above sea level to 4,043 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,807 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. This marked the end of the initial climb phase.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. This phase took place 1 mile north-west of Ash Shamiyah. Following this, the aircraft began its descent, which started 1 mile south of Salwa. The descent from 3,800 feet above sea level to 2,990 feet above sea level, a decrease of 810 feet in 2 minutes, covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. This phase took place 2 miles north of Al Fintas. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Al Ahmadi. The descent from 2,441 feet above sea level to 1,518 feet above sea level, a decrease of 924 feet in 2 minutes, covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33R at Kuwait International Airport was made from the south-east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 334.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,341 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed safely on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 199 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed at 134 knots, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -753 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total flight distance was 38 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 17 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,275 kilograms of fuel during the flight. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Kuwait International Airport's runway 33R, achieving a score of 92.3%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 334.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,341 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 134 knots, suggesting that the pilots may have been slightly aggressive in their approach. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 199 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating good control and precision.
The touchdown speed of 134 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate of -753 feet per minute (fpm). A heavier touchdown rate can put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may increase the risk of damage. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots, making the landing conditions relatively straightforward. Overall, the landing was successful, but the pilots may have benefited from a more precise control of speed and touchdown rate to achieve a higher score.
