Flight Score
Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 2.8°.
What happened: The wings held 2.8° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 3.4° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 5.9 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 5.9 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
See Arrival Landing
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,282 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 337 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 13 at the Seychelles International Airport, where the Boeing 737-800 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,286 meters, which is 55% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south east of the Seychelles International Airport, Mahe Island. The climb took place from an altitude of 1,053 feet above sea level to 38,875 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,822 feet in 44 minutes, covering a distance of 324 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began at a latitude of -2.2673731 and a longitude of 60.391537, lasting for 180 minutes and covering a distance of 1,268 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 9 miles south east of Peraiyur, in the State of Tamil Nadu, India. The descent took place from an altitude of 38,478 feet above sea level to 1,573 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,905 feet in 32 minutes, covering a distance of 261 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26 at Tirupati Airport was made from the east, heading 261.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,227 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 26 at Tirupati Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 338 meters, which is 36% of the runway. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 133 knots, while the touchdown rate was excellent at -96 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 263 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 830 meters, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,858 nautical miles, taking a total of 260 minutes, and the aircraft used 11,773 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Tirupati Airport, achieving a score of 99.6%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 261.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,227 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 26, which has a length of 2,282 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 132 kt, coming in at 133 kt. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 338 meters, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and land smoothly.
The touchdown speed of 127 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -96 fpm was excellent, showing that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it touched down.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 8 kt at 263°. The crosswind component was negligible at 0 kt, while the headwind component was 8 kt, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance was 830 meters, which is 36% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to land smoothly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, showing that the aircraft was able to maintain control and come to a stop smoothly after landing.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score and landing smoothly and efficiently. The favorable weather conditions and the pilot's skillful handling of the aircraft contributed to the successful landing.
