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 11 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 147 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 139 kt against a VREF of 147 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 147 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up and speed 61 kt FAST on the reference speed of 147 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 21 kt FAST on the reference speed of 147 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,973 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,973 m of the 2,992 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 640 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at O.R. Tambo International Airport, Johannesburg, took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Boeing 737-800 then began its departure roll on runway 03L, utilizing 47% of the available runway length to achieve a takeoff distance of 1,856 meters. Liftoff speed was reached at 150 knots, with a local temperature of 19°C and a wind of 6 knots from 300°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
The enroute climb commenced 2 miles north of the departure airport, with the aircraft ascending from 6,093 feet above sea level to 32,983 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles. This marked the beginning of a steady climb, which eventually gave way to a level cruise 4 miles southwest of Thabazimbi Airport. The cruise phase lasted 41 minutes and covered 303 nautical miles, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude of 32,983 feet. Following the cruise, the enroute descent started 10 miles east of Elg I, with the aircraft descending from 32,508 feet to 4,561 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at Livingstone Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 94.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,292 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on a runway length of 2,992 meters, with the threshold height slightly above the target value. The touchdown point was 229 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 136 knots and a touchdown rate of -217 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.5 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.7 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,897 meters, accounting for 63% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 532 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 87 minutes and a fuel consumption of 3,732 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 10 at FLHN Livingstone, marking a satisfactory conclusion to the approach. The aircraft descended from 1,292 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning with the heading of 94.0 degrees. The approach quality was generally good, with a threshold speed of 140 knots, meeting the target. However, the threshold height at 56 feet agl was slightly above the desired level.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 136 knots was within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate of -217 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. The touchdown point was located 229 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 12.5 meters from the centerline, which was a minor deviation. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a 5-knot headwind, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,897 meters was 63% of the runway length, which was within the acceptable range. During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centerline by 13.7 meters, a minor deviation from the desired path. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, earning a score of 84.4%.
