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 8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 0.3 ft, and this flight then touched down at 333 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,160 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 taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 17 at HUEN Entebbe International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,878 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 25°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 149°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south of HUEN Entebbe International Airport, Kampala, in the Central Region of Uganda. The climb took 19 minutes and covered 116 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 4,733 feet above sea level to 38,413 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,680 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 7 miles north of Musoma, in the Mara Region of Tanzania, and lasted for 51 minutes, covering 353 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 36 miles northeast of HTOO Mtibwa Airport, Mvomero, in the Morogoro Region of Tanzania. The descent took 22 minutes and covered 107 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing from 38,383 feet above sea level to 1,829 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,554 feet. The final approach to runway 23 at HTDA Julius Nyerere International Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 225.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,639 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 at HTDA Julius Nyerere International Airport was successful, with the touchdown distance being good at 338 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -463 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 30°C, with a wind speed of 17 knots at 160°.
The total landing distance was 1,360 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 585 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 104 minutes. The aircraft used 3,753 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at HTDA Julius Nyerere International Airport, achieving a score of 93.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,639 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was conducted on runway 23, which has a length of 3,160 meters.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was above the target, indicating a slightly higher than desired approach. The threshold speed was also slightly above the target, at 135 knots. However, the touchdown distance was satisfactory, measuring 338 meters. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was hard, at -463 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°C, with a wind speed of 17 knots at 160°. The crosswind component was 16 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,360 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while there were some minor issues with the landing, such as the hard touchdown rate and misaligned touchdown position, the Airbus A320 was able to successfully land at HTDA Julius Nyerere International Airport with a satisfactory score of 93.1%.
