Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 183 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 161 kt against a target of 183 kt, running 22 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 183 kt.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 117 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 121 kt against a VREF of 117 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 117 kt at the stabilisation gate.
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: sink rate 2,828 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 3.6° against the runway's 2.5°, wings 21° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 15 kt FAST on the reference speed of 117 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,441 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 545 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Nadi International Airport (NFFN), the Boeing 737-600 began its journey with a smooth taxi to the runway, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. As it rolled down runway 20, the aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 140 knots, clearing the ground at a distance of 959 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32°C, with a gentle wind of 4 knots from 350°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component.
As the aircraft climbed away from Nadi, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,013 feet above sea level to 40,626 feet, a vertical gain of 39,612 feet, over a distance of 355 nautical miles, in a period of 45 minutes. The climb phase was followed by a prolonged enroute level cruise, which lasted for 264 minutes, covering a distance of 2,161 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 40,483 feet to 2,202 feet, a decrease of 38,282 feet, over a distance of 155 nautical miles, in a period of 23 minutes. The descent phase set the stage for the final approach to runway 02 at Hiva Oa-Atuona Airport (NTMN).
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 02 at NTMN, with a touchdown point located 123 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 111 knots was slightly above the target, while the touchdown rate of 34 feet per minute was perfect. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance of 917 meters accounted for 63% of the runway. Following a smooth taxi to the parking area, the aircraft concluded its journey, having covered a total distance of 2,674 nautical miles, in a period of 337 minutes, and consuming 12,941 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 02 at NTMN Hiva Oa-Atuona Airport, with a slightly above-target threshold speed of 121 kt. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a well-executed final approach from the south west, heading 30.0° at 1 nm and 630 ft above ground level. The threshold height at 72 ft agl was significantly above the target, indicating a relatively high approach path angle.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 111 kt, but the touchdown rate was perfect at 34 fpm. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 m from the centreline. The total landing distance of 917 m was 63% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27 °C and a wind of 8 kt at 102°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The rollout phase was notable for its good alignment, with the aircraft staying close to the centreline. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 88.8%. While there were some minor deviations from the target, the pilot's performance was adequate, and the aircraft was brought to a safe stop within a reasonable distance.
