Flight Score
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 1.5° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,595 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,595 m of the 3,209 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 661 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing NTTO Hao Airport in the Iles Tuamotu-Gambier, French Polynesia, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey with a smooth departure roll on runway 12. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 152 kt, clearing the runway threshold in just 1,336 meters, which accounted for 40% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30 °C and a gentle headwind of 6 kt, contributed to a stable and efficient takeoff.
As the aircraft climbed out of NTTO Hao Airport, it transitioned into a steady enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 35,554 ft asl in 35 minutes. This phase of the flight covered a significant distance of 257 nm, setting the stage for the long-haul journey ahead. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed for 151 minutes, covering a distance of 1,163 nm. This efficient cruise phase was punctuated by a brief climb phase, where the aircraft ascended from 36,001 ft asl to 39,512 ft asl in just 7 minutes, covering 52 nm. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 104 minutes and covering 767 nm.
As the aircraft approached its destination, NFFN Nadi International Airport in Fiji, it began its descent phase, reducing its altitude from 39,819 ft asl to 1,318 ft asl in 24 minutes, covering 158 nm. The final approach to runway 02 was executed from the south west, with the aircraft aligning with the runway centerline at 4 nm and 1,273 ft agl. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 125 kt and a touchdown rate of -110 fpm. The aircraft touched down 244 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a runway touchdown position slightly misaligned by 4.8 m from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,513 m, accounting for 47% of the available runway length. Following a quick taxi to the parking area, the aircraft concluded its journey, having covered a total distance of 2,404 nm and consuming 15,787 kg of fuel in 328 minutes.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 02 at Nadi International Airport, NFFN, with a satisfactory approach quality. The aircraft was established on the final approach from the south west, heading 36.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase. The threshold speed of 136 knots was also well-managed, indicating a high degree of pilot proficiency.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown speed of 125 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -110 feet per minute was smooth, indicating a well-executed landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centreline, which may be attributed to a minor deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24°C and a light wind of 2 knots at 120°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,513 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was scored 96.1%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
