Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,704 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 369 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 16 at UHPP Yelizovo Airport, located in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Kamchatka Krai, Russia. The Boeing 737-800 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 1,247 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of Yelizovo Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south east of the airport. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,154 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 38,628 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,474 feet in 42 minutes, covering a distance of 309 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started 65 miles north of Nikol'skoye, Kamchatka Krai, Russia, and lasted for 98 minutes, covering a distance of 1,149 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 3 miles north of Dillingham, Alaska, United States, and involved a descent from 38,756 feet above sea level to 1,767 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,989 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, this time starting 1 mile north east of Naknek, Alaska, United States, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at PAKN King Salmon Airport was made from the north west, heading 132.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,288 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 12, which had a length of 2,704 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 140 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 371 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -150 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total landing distance was 910 meters, which was 34% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 1,520 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 157 minutes. The aircraft used 9,404 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at PAKN King Salmon Airport, achieving a high score of 99.1%. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, heading 132.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a precise course for a smooth landing on runway 12, which has a length of 2,704 meters.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft touched down at the correct point on the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's weight. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 371 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown.
The touchdown speed of 133 knots was a little fast, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's decision to touch down at a slightly higher speed. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -150 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down rapidly after touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was aligned perfectly with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance. However, the total landing distance of 910 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway length, was considered acceptable. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline after touchdown and during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the final approach and touchdown phases.
