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 5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,400 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 316 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 02 at VNKT Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Nepal. The takeoff distance was 1,486 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 79 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of the airport and reaching an altitude of 38,604 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered 264 nautical miles, took 39 minutes and involved an increase of 33,220 feet in altitude.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Sarpang in Bhutan. This phase lasted for 113 minutes and covered 1,027 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 37 miles southeast of Cat Ba in Vietnam. The descent, which covered 150 nautical miles, took 21 minutes and involved a decrease of 36,057 feet in altitude, from 38,970 feet to 2,913 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 13 miles west of ZJSY Sanya Phoenix International Airport in China. This phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 08 at ZJSY Sanya Phoenix International Airport, approaching from the west at a heading of 82.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 08 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 314 meters, which was 25% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 123 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -247 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 845 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,457 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 185 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,961 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at ZJSY Sanya Phoenix International Airport, achieving a high score of 96.9%. The final approach to runway 08 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 82.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 129 knots. The touchdown distance of 314 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 123 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate of -247 feet per minute was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 7.8 meters. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 845 meters was only 25% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 8.2 meters. This may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position misalignment.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the touchdown position and rollout alignment. These can be addressed through further training and practice to improve the pilot's skills and reduce the risk of future incidents.
