Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Apply small rudder corrections at touchdown, aiming at a point at the far end of the runway, to stay on the centreline.
What happened: Touchdown drifted 5.5 m off the centreline, and landings like this usually carry that drift into the rollout, where the alignment error grew to 12 m.
Watch for: Runway centreline: aircraft tracking directly over it through touchdown and rollout.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 305 m and 152 m 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 1,674 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,674 m of the 3,283 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 347 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Auckland International Airport, the aircraft began its journey on runway 05R, taking off with a distance of 2,895 meters, which covered 88% of the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 166 knots, marking the start of its ascent.
As the aircraft climbed from 307 meters above sea level to 10,357 meters, it covered a distance of 136 nautical miles in 23 minutes. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted 24 minutes and covered 164 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 10,359 meters to 1,521 meters, a decrease of 8,838.3 meters in 20 minutes. This was followed by another level cruise phase, which lasted 9 minutes and covered 32 nautical miles. The final descent phase took the aircraft from 1,521 meters to 449 meters in 6 minutes, covering 20 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 02 at Christchurch International Airport, touching down at a speed of 136 knots and a distance of 354 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -2.0 meters per second, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,599 meters, which covered 49% of the runway. After a short taxiing period, the aircraft came to a stop, having covered a total distance of 468 nautical miles and using 3,685 kilograms of fuel. The flight duration was 89 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 02 at NZCH Christchurch International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 138 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 354 m was also satisfactory, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 136 kt was consistent with the desired touchdown speed, and the touchdown rate of -2.0 m/s was firm but not excessive. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.3 m, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10 °C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt, were generally favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,599 m, which accounted for 49% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 15.4 m, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 92.2%, indicating a high degree of proficiency and control.
