Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,133 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,133 m of the 3,586 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 626 m past the threshold — beyond 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 21 at OLBA Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport. The takeoff distance was 197 meters, which is 9% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 298 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile south of the airport, rising from 1,001 feet above sea level to 15,903 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,901 feet in 6 minutes and covering 31 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles southwest of Jbail, Lebanon, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering 72 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 5 miles west of Yabrud, Syria, descending from 16,002 feet above sea level to 3,279 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,724 feet in 11 minutes and covering 50 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23R at OSDI Damascus International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 229.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,258 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 3,586 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 144 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -241 feet per minute.
The touchdown point was 215 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 320 degrees. There was a 2-knot crosswind and no headwind. The total landing distance was 2,058 meters, which is 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 161 nautical miles, and the flight took 35 minutes. The aircraft used 1,965 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at OSDI Damascus International Airport, with a final approach score of 94.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 229.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 23R, which has a length of 3,586 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 144 knots. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, at a distance of 215 meters. The touchdown speed of 138 knots was a bit faster than ideal, and the touchdown rate of -241 feet per minute was considered fair.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.0 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 320°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was negligible at 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,058 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway length. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
