Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1.8°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 10 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 10 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 10 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,984 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,888 ft 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 area to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 10R at KCMH John Glenn Columbus International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,644 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 3 knots at 139 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was also 2 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northeast of Whitehall, Ohio, and the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,847 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 40,198 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,350 feet in 19 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 110 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles east of Sandy Hook, Kentucky. This phase lasted for 87 minutes and covered a distance of 610 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles west of Belleair Beach, Florida. The descent from 40,035 feet above sea level to 1,307 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,728 feet in 21 minutes, covered a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at KRSW Southwest Florida International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 54.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,271 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 06 was successful, with a touchdown point 503 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 128 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -158 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 79 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 2 knots at 80 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 4,601 feet, which accounted for 38% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 836 nautical miles and lasted for 142 minutes, using 10,563 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KRSW Southwest Florida International Airport, achieving a score of 96.7%. The final approach to runway 06 was initiated from the southwest, heading 54.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 128 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed. The touchdown point was located 503 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be considered a minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 122 kt was slightly faster than the desired speed, but the touchdown rate of -158 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed good. This indicates that the aircraft was able to maintain a controlled descent during the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during future landings.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 2 kt at 80°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 kt each, which contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 4,601 feet was 38% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases. Overall, the landing was successful, with some minor deviations from the optimal landing parameters.
