Speed on the slow side
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,586 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 296 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Minsk National Airport, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, the aircraft started its departure roll on runway 13R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 135 knots. The takeoff distance of 773 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway, was achieved in a smooth and efficient manner.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Minsk National Airport. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 1,655 feet above sea level to 39,989 feet, an increase of 38,333 feet in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 210 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered its enroute level cruise, which lasted for 154 minutes and covered 1,167 nautical miles. The descent phase began 53 miles southwest of the AG09 Amphibious Ready Group - South Mediterranean, where the aircraft descended from 40,009 feet to 2,131 feet in 16 minutes, covering 112 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27 at Tripoli International Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 269.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,313 feet above ground level.
The Boeing 737-600 landed on runway 27 at Tripoli International Airport, with a touchdown distance of 297 meters, which was 21% of the runway length. The touchdown speed of 114 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold speed, but the touchdown rate of -112 feet per minute was smooth. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,504 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 8,351 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 27 at HLLT Tripoli International Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -112 fpm, slightly above the ideal rate. The aircraft's touchdown speed of 114 kt was a little fast, but still within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway's centerline.
As the aircraft began its rollout, it maintained excellent alignment with the runway centerline, demonstrating precise control and coordination from the flight crew. The total landing distance of 757 m was 21% of the runway's length, indicating a well-executed landing. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 118 kt was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 297 m was also good, reflecting the crew's skill in managing the aircraft's descent.
The overall performance of the landing was exceptional, with a score of 99.9%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25 °C and a light wind of 4 kt at 50 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 2 kt and 3 kt respectively, further facilitating a smooth and controlled landing.
