Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 183 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 162 kt against a target of 183 kt, running 21 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 183 kt.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 126 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 132 kt, 6 kt above the 126 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 126 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,674 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 382 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Kigali International Airport, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 10, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 65% of the 2,316-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 134 knots. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 28°C, with a gentle wind of 3 knots from a direction of 190°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft climbed away from Kigali, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 5,785 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 40,974 feet, a vertical gain of 35,188 feet over a distance of 340 nautical miles in 44 minutes. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 138 minutes and covered a distance of 1,071 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced 24 miles northeast of Massingir Airport, where the aircraft descended from 40,792 feet to 1,479 feet above sea level, a decrease of 39,313 feet over a distance of 134 nautical miles in 21 minutes.
Upon reaching Maputo Airport, the Boeing 737-600 initiated its final approach to runway 23 from the northeast, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 209.0° and an altitude of 1,341 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 124 knots, slightly above the target speed, and a touchdown distance of 380 meters, which was considered good. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.1 meters. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,552 nautical miles, covering a distance of 210 minutes and utilizing 8,557 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 23 at FQMA Maputo Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach profile. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 133 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed. The aircraft's descent was controlled, with a touchdown distance of 380 m, which was within acceptable limits.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 124 kt, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -233 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the slight crosswind component of 4 kt. Despite this, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24 °C and a light wind of 4 kt at 90 °, were generally favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,257 m, which accounted for 34% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the crew had maintained control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 97.7%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the crew.
