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 5.9 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.
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 3,421 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 332 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a FWB Infinity Airways, then departed from runway 28 at RPMC Cotabato (Awang) Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,028 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 269 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead RPMC Cotabato (Awang) Airport, heading towards Datu Odin Sinsuat in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, Philippines. The climb began at an altitude of 1,160 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 24,208 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,048 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles southwest of Bayang in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, Philippines, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering a distance of 71 nautical miles. Following the cruise, the aircraft began its enroute descent 25 miles southeast of Lazi in Central Visayas, Philippines. The descent started at an altitude of 24,916 feet above sea level and ended at an altitude of 1,349 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,566 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 79 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport was made from the southwest, heading at 45.0 degrees, at an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level, and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 04R, which had a length of 3,421 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 122 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 331 meters, and the touchdown speed was 116 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was firm at -312 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 50 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,364 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft took 4 minutes to taxi to the parking from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 191 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 43 minutes. The aircraft used 1,418 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The FWB Infinity Airways aircraft successfully landed at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.7%. The final approach to runway 04R was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 45.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height and threshold speed, touching down at 122 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 331 meters, and the touchdown speed was maintained at 116 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -312 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft landing 5.1 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots, which the aircraft successfully managed.
The total landing distance was 1,364 meters, accounting for approximately 40% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing process.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the FWB Infinity Airways aircraft performed well during the landing, achieving a high score and demonstrating a high level of proficiency.
