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 95 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.4 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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.
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,537 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 451 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 08 at GMMW Nador Al Aaroui International Airport. The takeoff distance was 870 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 70 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started enroute climb 1 mile south of Al Aaroui, Oriental, Morocco, at an altitude of 1,563 feet above sea level. The climb continued to an altitude of 5,052 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,489 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 6 miles east of Al Aaroui and lasted for 58 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07L at DAOO Oran Es-Sénia (Ahmed Ben Bella) International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 67.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 751 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 07L, which had a length of 3,537 meters, was successful, with a touchdown distance of 426 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 48 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -422 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°. The total landing distance was 771 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 125 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 74 minutes. The aircraft used 40 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed on runway 07L at DAOO Oran Es-Sénia (Ahmed Ben Bella) International Airport, achieving an overall score of 81.1%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 67.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 751 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 48 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 426 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was reported as hard, with a rate of -422 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly abrupt touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.2 meters, which may require some adjustments in the approach and landing technique to achieve a more precise touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 771 meters was 22% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with some minor areas for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and touchdown position alignment.
