Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 184 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 163 kt against a target of 184 kt, running 21 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 184 kt.
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 189 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 189 fpm next time
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,498 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 322 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from George Best Belfast City Airport, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft reached the end of runway 22, it initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,083-meter stretch of asphalt that comprised 62% of the runway's total length. At a liftoff speed of 148 knots, the aircraft successfully took to the skies, leaving the local weather conditions behind - a temperature of 11°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots at 239°.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute level, it traversed a significant altitude increase of 35,926 feet in just 33 minutes, covering a distance of 257 nautical miles. The climb phase concluded overhead George Best Belfast City Airport, marking the beginning of the enroute level cruise. This phase of the flight lasted for 282 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a substantial distance of 2,307 nautical miles. The cruise phase was punctuated by a series of enroute descents, the first of which began 7 miles north of Atbasar Airport in Kazakhstan, where the aircraft descended from 36,874 feet to 5,624 feet in just 18 minutes, covering 131 nautical miles. A brief level cruise phase followed, lasting only 2 minutes as the aircraft covered 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport was executed from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 225.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,290 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 122 knots and a touchdown rate of -185 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 776 meters, comprising just 22% of the runway's length. Following a perfect runway rollout alignment, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,718 nautical miles, achieved in 345 minutes and requiring 16,077 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 22 at UACC Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport with a high degree of precision, achieving a score of 99.8%. The aircraft's approach to the runway from the north east, heading 225.0° at 4 nm and 1,290 ft agl, set the stage for a smooth landing. The good threshold height and threshold speed of 129 kt indicated a well-executed approach, with the aircraft maintaining control and stability throughout.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown characteristics were equally impressive. The touchdown speed of 122 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -185 fpm was well within the desired range. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway's centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11 °C and a gentle headwind of 5 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable landing environment.
The Boeing 737-900's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 776 m, which accounted for only 22% of the runway's length, was a testament to the aircraft's excellent braking performance. Overall, the landing was a textbook example of precision and control, with the aircraft's crew demonstrating exceptional skill and expertise in navigating the aircraft to a safe and efficient touchdown.
