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 7.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,341 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 71 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 approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 36 at VRMM Malé International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,118 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 143 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Hulhumale in the Kaafu Atoll, Maldives. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,005 feet above sea level to 41,511 feet above sea level, an increase of 40,506 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 70 miles west of VRMV Villa Airport Maamigili in the Southern Ari Atoll, Maldives. This phase lasted for 29 minutes and covered a distance of 955 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 94 miles northeast of FSSF Frégate Island Airport Frégate Island in La Digue, Seychelles. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 41,443 feet above sea level to 2,164 feet above sea level, a decrease of 39,279 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 9 miles east of Anse Royale in Anse Royale, Seychelles. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 31 at FSIA Seychelles International Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 305.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,234 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 31 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 70 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The threshold speed was good at 125 knots, and the touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was slightly faster than expected. The touchdown rate was fair at -208 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 0 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,049 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,202 nautical miles, which was covered in 65 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,454 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at FSIA Seychelles International Airport, achieving a score of 96.7%. The final approach to runway 31 was conducted from the south east, heading 305.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,234 feet above ground level.
The aircraft demonstrated good control during the landing, with a threshold height that was satisfactory and a threshold speed of 125 knots, which was within the expected range. The touchdown distance of 70 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.
However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was slightly faster than expected, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and alignment throughout the approach.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from the north, which was negligible. The crosswind and headwind components were also minimal, at 1 knot and 0 knots respectively.
The total landing distance of 1,049 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation in the pilot's control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and technique throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and rollout alignment.
