Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Add power on approach to bring the speed up to 146 kt before the stabilisation gate, not after it.
What happened: The approach was already slow at the stabilisation gate, and a slow gate like that usually carries through to a slow threshold crossing - here 133 kt against the 146 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 146 kt on approach, carrying through to 146 kt at the threshold.
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 305 m and 152 m above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 305 m gate: speed 5 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 146 kt.
At the 152 m gate: speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 146 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,420 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 301 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
VOBL Kempegowda International Airport in Bangalore, India, served as the departure point for this flight, with the aircraft taking to the skies from runway 27R. The initial taxiing phase was brief, lasting just six minutes and covering a distance of less than one nautical mile. As the aircraft began its departure roll, it accelerated down the 2,466-meter runway, utilizing 62% of its length before lifting off at a speed of 169 knots. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 knots from a direction of 4 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately one mile west of the departure point. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,163 meters above sea level to a cruising altitude of 9,753 meters, a vertical gain of 8,589.9 meters, in just 23 minutes and covering a distance of 144 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase, the aircraft commenced its enroute descent, which began 12 miles southwest of Hirekerur, India. The descent from 9,566 meters to 435 meters above sea level, a decrease of 9,130.6 meters, was completed in 20 minutes and covered a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at VOGO Dabolim Airport was executed from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 259.0 degrees at an altitude of 386.4 meters above ground level and a distance of four nautical miles from the threshold. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the 3,420-meter runway at a speed of 130 knots and a touchdown distance of 302 meters. The total landing distance was 937 meters, accounting for 27% of the runway length. Following a brief taxiing phase, the aircraft came to a stop at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 273 nautical miles in 53 minutes and utilizing 2,101 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 26 at VOGO Dabolim, demonstrating a good threshold height and speed of 133 kt. The approach quality was excellent, with a steady descent from 386.4 m agl to the threshold. The touchdown distance of 302 m was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 130 kt was well within the desired range. However, the touchdown rate of -1.3 m/s was slightly higher than ideal, indicating a slightly firm touchdown.
The aircraft's centreline alignment during touchdown was very good, with the aircraft tracking the centreline closely. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 32 °C and a headwind of 5 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 kt, which further contributed to a smooth touchdown. The total landing distance of 937 m, accounting for 27% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centre, deviating by 8.1 m from the centreline. Despite this minor deviation, the overall landing performance was excellent, with a score of 97.5%. The pilot's skill and attention to detail were evident throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases, resulting in a safe and efficient landing.
