Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,155 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 36 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, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 13 at OEST Khalfan, located in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. The takeoff distance was 964 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 328 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of OEST Khalfan. The climb took 35 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,463 feet above sea level to 38,926 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 285 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 17 miles north of OOIA Ibra Airport in Oman. This phase lasted for 160 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,273 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 7 miles north east of Pandatarai in India, where the aircraft descended from 38,969 feet above sea level to 2,137 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles in 13 minutes.
The final approach to runway 24 at VERP Raipur was made from the north east, with a heading of 239.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,096 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 24 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 501 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 115 knots. The touchdown speed was 114 knots, and the touchdown rate was -166 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,630 nautical miles, which was covered in 212 minutes. The aircraft used 8,897 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at Raipur's VERP airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 24 was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 239.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,096 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evident from the subsequent landing performance.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 115 knots was also within the acceptable range, signifying that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The touchdown distance of 37 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient control to maintain a stable approach.
The touchdown speed of 114 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -166 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled and stable descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the approach procedure to achieve a more precise alignment.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 180°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, which did not significantly impact the landing performance. The total landing distance of 501 meters was within 23% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly controlled and aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-600 aircraft at Raipur's VERP airport was satisfactory, with a score of 98.5%. This achievement reflects the high level of skill and expertise of the pilots involved in the landing operation.
