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 12 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,680 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 343 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, an A330, then departed from runway 28 at HRYR Kigali International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,423 meters, which accounted for 74% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 23°C, a wind speed of 5 knots at 290°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Kigali International Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of the airport, rising from an altitude of 5,756 feet above sea level to 29,712 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,957 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a period of level cruise, which started 6 miles east of Mpigi in the Central Region of Uganda and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent 9 miles southwest of Kyotera in the Central Region of Uganda, descending from 29,853 feet above sea level to 6,989 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,864 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 133 nautical miles. The descent was followed by another period of level cruise, which started 6 miles south of Entebbe International Airport in Kampala and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Entebbe International Airport, descending from 6,734 feet above sea level to 5,602 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,132 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 17 at Entebbe International Airport was made from the north, heading 172.0° at 4 nautical miles and 860 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 17 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 343 meters, a touchdown speed of 141 knots, and a touchdown rate of -310 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,441 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 332 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 70 minutes. The aircraft used 8,241 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A330 has successfully landed at HUEN Entebbe International Airport, achieving a score of 93.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 172.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 860 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 17, which has a length of 3,680 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height and speed, with a threshold speed of 143 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 343 meters. The touchdown speed of 141 knots was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -310 feet per minute (fpm). However, there was a slight issue with the runway touchdown position, as it was misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C. The total landing distance of 1,441 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, there was a slight issue with the runway rollout alignment, as it was misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centerline. Despite these minor issues, the overall performance of the aircraft during the landing was satisfactory, resulting in a score of 93.2%.
