Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 159 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 178 kt, 19 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 159 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 94 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 94 ft, 49 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,829 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,829 m of the 2,606 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 714 m past the threshold — beyond 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 27 at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (VABB) in Mumbai, India. The takeoff distance was 1,884 meters, which is 67% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 178 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and winds of 8 knots at 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Juhu Aerodrome (VAJJ) in Mumbai. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from 1,093 feet above sea level to 8,697 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,603 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 10 miles west of Uran, a city in the state of Maharashtra, India. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 10 miles northwest of Alibag, another city in Maharashtra. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from 8,722 feet above sea level to 32,711 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,989 feet in 32 minutes, covering a distance of 248 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 13 miles west of Karwar, a city in the state of Karnataka, India. This cruise phase lasted for 71 minutes and covered a distance of 572 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 60 miles east of Naifaru, a city in the Maldives. During this descent, the aircraft descended from 32,931 feet above sea level to 2,419 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,512 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 6 miles south of Male, the capital city of the Maldives. This cruise phase lasted for 57 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 18 at Malé International Airport (VRMM), heading 181.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,289 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 18 was successful, with the aircraft touching down 295 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -240 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and winds of 3 knots at 230 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,745 meters, which is 67% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 947 nautical miles, taking 194 minutes, and the aircraft used 9,114 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at VRMM Malé International Airport, with a final approach score of 89.6%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 181.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was conducted on runway 18, which has a length of 2,606 meters.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach path. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 144 knots, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was on track to land safely. The touchdown point was located 295 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight overcorrection or a slightly fast approach.
The touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, which may have contributed to the aircraft landing beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown rate of -240 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively, but could have done better.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a miscalculation of the aircraft's position. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was able to align the aircraft with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 230°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 knots, which was relatively minimal and should not have had a significant impact on the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 89.6%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal approach path and touchdown speed, the pilot was able to maintain control and land the aircraft safely.
