MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 4.8 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 4.6 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
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: speed 47 kt FAST on the reference speed of 131 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 2,030 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 288 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Auckland International Airport, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey with a smooth taxiing process, taking just 3 minutes to reach the runway. As it rolled down runway 05R, the aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 150 kt, clearing the ground at 1,887 meters, which was 57% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt.
As the aircraft climbed out of Auckland, it began its enroute climb, steadily increasing its altitude from 948 ft to 35,686 ft over a distance of 268 nm in 47 minutes. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 147 minutes and covered 1,006 nm. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 36,030 ft to 39,657 ft, as it approached the Vanuatu region. After a brief cruise phase, the aircraft started its descent, gradually losing altitude from 40,001 ft to 1,470 ft over a distance of 178 nm in 25 minutes. The final approach to Nauru International Airport's runway 30 was executed from the south east, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 125 kt and a distance of 290 meters, which was 41% of the runway's length.
The landing was successful, with a smooth touchdown rate of -136 fpm and a runway rollout alignment that was very good. The total landing distance was 804 meters, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering a short distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 2,268 nm, and the aircraft used 15,521 kg of fuel over the course of the 331-minute journey.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 30 at ANYN Nauru International Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -136 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed was good at 130 kt, allowing the aircraft to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of landing. The touchdown distance of 290 m was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed.
The aircraft's touchdown speed of 125 kt was good, and the touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 m from the centreline. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to quickly regain control of the aircraft and maintain a stable path along the runway. The total landing distance of 804 m, which accounted for 41% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits.
The approach quality was good, with a stable and controlled descent throughout. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a wind speed of 0 kt, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. Overall, the landing was scored 98.4%, reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
