MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 230 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 224 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
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 500 ft gate: centreline 3.1° off, against a 1° limit and speed 24 kt FAST on the reference speed of 124 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,990 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 721 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Luang Phabang International Airport, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey with a taxiing period of 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. The aircraft then commenced its departure roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 142 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,102 meters accounted for 44% of the runway length, with a local temperature of 32°C and a gentle tailwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Luang Phabang, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 1,963 feet above sea level to 39,805 feet in 38 minutes, covering a distance of 294 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with a total ascent of 37,842 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 39,805 feet for 198 minutes as it covered a distance of 1,605 nautical miles. The cruise phase was punctuated by a brief descent and subsequent climb, as the aircraft adjusted its altitude to navigate through the Maldives region.
As the aircraft approached Malé International Airport, it began its final descent, reducing its altitude from 39,883 feet to 2,209 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 188 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a short level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 2,209 feet for 2 minutes as it covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18 was conducted from the north, with the aircraft touching down 155 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 123 knots. The total landing distance of 1,059 meters accounted for 41% of the runway length, with a runway touchdown position that was excessively misaligned from the centreline. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing its journey with a total flight distance of 2,103 nautical miles, a flight time of 271 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 11,156 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 18 at VRMM Malé International Airport, with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, reaching 129 knots. The aircraft's descent was firm, with a touchdown rate of -358 feet per minute, and the touchdown speed of 123 knots was a little fast.
The touchdown point was located 155 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 231.2 meters from the centerline. This misalignment was also evident during the rollout phase, where the aircraft remained 230.8 meters off-centerline. The landing distance of 1,059 meters was 41% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping power to bring the plane to a stop within the remaining runway.
The approach quality was not optimal, with the threshold speed being above target. The touchdown characteristics, while firm, were not ideal due to the high touchdown speed. The excessive misalignment during both touchdown and rollout phases detracted from the overall performance. Considering these factors, the final score for this landing was 69.6%.
