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 5.5 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,925 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 167 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Tunis Carthage International Airport, the Boeing 737-600 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 lined up on runway 11, the crew initiated the departure roll, and the aircraft lifted off the ground after a takeoff distance of 929 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 144 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 93 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of the airport and continued for 42 minutes, covering a distance of 302 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 995 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 39,011 feet, an increase of 38,017 feet. Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 238 minutes and covered a distance of 2,046 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 9 miles south of Assab, Eritrea, and continued for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from a cruising altitude of 38,720 feet to a lower altitude of 2,104 feet.
After a brief level cruise phase near Djibouti, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 27 at Djibouti-Ambouli Airport. The approach was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 271.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,070 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 169 meters and a touchdown speed of 120 knots. The touchdown rate was -192 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,448 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 12,294 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 303 minutes.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 27 at HDAM Djibouti-Ambouli Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, characterized by a stable and controlled descent. The aircraft maintained a heading of 271.0°, aligning itself with the runway centerline as it descended from an altitude of 1,070 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The approach was conducted in a temperature of 25°C and a gentle tailwind of 2 knots, with a crosswind component of 0 knots.
The aircraft touched down at a speed of 120 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range of 123 knots. The touchdown distance of 169 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a well-controlled touchdown. The touchdown rate of -192 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable limits, demonstrating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the touchdown phase.
Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out along the runway centerline with perfect alignment, demonstrating excellent control and coordination. The total landing distance of 1,379 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway length, was within the acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 99.8%. The crew's performance and the aircraft's handling characteristics were commended for their contribution to a safe and efficient landing.
