Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 176 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 157 kt against a target of 176 kt, running 19 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 176 kt.
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 15 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,968 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,968 m of the 2,993 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 304 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Heydar Aliyev International Airport, the Boeing 737-700 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the end of the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 17, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 144 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,304 meters was achieved at 40% of the runway length, a testament to the aircraft's efficient performance.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it began its ascent from 980 feet above sea level to 37,990 feet, a vertical increase of 37,011 feet in just 17 minutes. The climb phase was followed by a series of level cruises, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude for short periods of time. The descent phase began 7 miles northwest of Agdas, where the aircraft descended from 38,000 feet to 19,979 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 71 nautical miles. The flight continued with a series of level cruises and descents, with the final approach to runway 13R at Tbilisi International Airport initiated from the northwest, heading 137.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,554 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 13R was executed with a touchdown distance of 300 meters, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was slightly higher than the recommended threshold speed, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -535 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was similarly misaligned. Despite these minor deviations, the flight was completed successfully, with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area in 7 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 323 nautical miles, and the flight used 2,861 kilograms of fuel, with a total flight time of 82 minutes.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 13R at UGTB Tbilisi International Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. The aircraft's approach quality was good, with a threshold speed of 130 kt, which was within the acceptable range. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it was traveling at a speed of 126 kt, slightly above the ideal touchdown speed. This resulted in a hard touchdown rate of -535 fpm, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position by 6.6 m from the centreline.
The landing distance of 1,886 m was 63% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. However, the rollout phase was not without issues, as the aircraft's alignment deviated from the centreline by 16.5 m. This misalignment may have been a result of the hard touchdown and subsequent loss of directional control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 5 °C and winds of 9 kt at 259 °, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
Despite some minor issues, the overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 89.9%. The good threshold height and threshold speed were notable highlights, and the short landing distance was a positive aspect of the approach. However, the hard touchdown rate and subsequent misalignment during the rollout phase were areas for improvement.
