Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 13 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 13 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 26 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 26 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 26 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,123 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,123 m of the 2,606 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 696 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 36 at Malé International Airport, VRMM. The takeoff distance covered 42% of the runway, which is 1,095 meters long. The liftoff speed was 137 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Hulhumale in the Kaafu Atoll, Maldives. The climb took 1 minute and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an increase in altitude from 1,023 feet above sea level to 2,232 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. This phase began 1 mile northeast of Hulhumale. The final approach to runway 36 at Malé International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 359.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 36 was executed with a touchdown point 270 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 118 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. However, the touchdown rate was good at -173 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.6 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 300 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance covered 78% of the runway, which is 2,606 meters long. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned from the centreline by 23.6 meters. The total flight distance was 14 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 12 minutes. The aircraft used 144 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at VRMM Malé International Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 359.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,263 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 36, which has a length of 2,606 meters.
The threshold height at 70 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than desired at the point of touchdown. Additionally, the threshold speed of 134 knots was also above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been descending too slowly or not configured correctly for landing. The touchdown point was 270 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant deviation.
The touchdown speed of 118 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the aircraft's distance from the touchdown zone. However, the touchdown rate of -173 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 300°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing performance.
The total landing distance of 2,032 meters was 78% of the runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This suggests that the aircraft may have taken a longer than necessary distance to come to a stop after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 23.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a combination of factors including the aircraft's approach path and the wind conditions.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there are several areas where the pilot could improve their performance, including reducing the threshold height and speed, improving the touchdown point accuracy, and reducing the landing distance.
