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 5.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,341 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 198 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 14 at FWKI Lilongwe International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,624 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 170 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Lilongwe International Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile south east of the airport. The climb took 43 minutes to reach a maximum altitude of 39,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,972 feet from the initial altitude of 5,039 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 327 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 25 miles west of FQMT Meluco Airport in Mozambique. This phase lasted for 76 minutes and covered a distance of 983 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 49 miles north east of FSDR Desroches Airport in the Seychelles. The descent took 13 minutes to reach a final altitude of 1,230 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,762 feet from the previous altitude of 38,992 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 81 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at FSIA Seychelles International Airport was made from the south east, with a heading of 305.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,201 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 31, which had a length of 2,341 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at 84 degrees.
The touchdown speed was slightly fast at 136 knots, but the touchdown distance was good at 198 meters. The touchdown rate was also good at -166 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 965 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway.
In conclusion, the flight covered a total distance of 1,399 nautical miles and took 138 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 8,741 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at FSIA Seychelles International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.2%. The final approach to runway 31 was conducted from the south east, heading 305.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,201 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 198 meters, but the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly higher than desired. However, the touchdown rate of -166 feet per minute was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29°C and winds of 11 knots at 84°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 8 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a stable approach and landed safely.
The total landing distance of 965 meters was 41% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline. This minor deviation may be attributed to the aircraft's speed and control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, considering the weather conditions and the runway characteristics. The slight deviations in touchdown speed and runway rollout alignment do not significantly impact the overall assessment of the landing.
