Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
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: centreline 5.3° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 3.7° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,935 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 213 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Aden Adde International Airport in Mogadishu, Somalia, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 23, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 1,198 meters, which equated to 38% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 150 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29°C, with a gentle headwind of 5 knots from a direction of 230°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport. The climb phase was notable for its steep ascent, with the aircraft rising from an initial altitude of 965 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 37,518 feet, an increase of 36,553 feet in just 37 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 272 nautical miles, setting the stage for the long-haul flight ahead. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted for 73 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 519 nautical miles, before the descent phase began.
The descent phase started approximately 77 miles northeast of Hajoho, Comoros, and was characterized by a rapid loss of altitude, with the aircraft descending from 37,513 feet to 1,359 feet above sea level in just 19 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 120 nautical miles, setting the aircraft up for its final approach to runway 34 at Dzaoudzi Pamandzi International Airport. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 134 knots and a touchdown distance of 210 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. The total landing distance was 849 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. After a short taxiing period, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 917 nautical miles, using 6,497 kilograms of fuel in the process, and taking a total of 128 minutes to complete the journey.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down smoothly on runway 34 at FMCZ Dzaoudzi Pamandzi International Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in the landing phase. The aircraft's approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and speed of 139 kt, indicating a well-executed descent and configuration. The touchdown distance of 210 m was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 134 kt, which was good, and the touchdown rate of -383 fpm was firm but not excessive. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was centered on the runway and aligned with the centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a gentle tailwind of 5 kt, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. The aircraft's performance in these conditions was impressive, with a total landing distance of 849 m, which was only 44% of the runway length.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with perfect alignment on the centerline. The pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase was evident, as the aircraft came to a stop without any deviation from the centerline. Overall, the landing was scored at 98.2%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
