Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 1.4°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,763 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 210 m touchdown sits inside 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 737-800, then departed from runway 34R at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (KSEA). The takeoff distance was 1,212 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and wind speeds of 13 knots at 20 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 12 knots. After departing from KSEA, the enroute climb began, and the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,454 feet above sea level to 35,986 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,532 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 12 miles west of Trout Lake, Washington, and lasted for 80 minutes, covering a distance of 610 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles southeast of El Rico Airport Corcoran, California. The descent from 36,553 feet above sea level to 2,016 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,537 feet in 26 minutes, covered a distance of 122 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at Hollywood Burbank Airport (KBUR) was made from the west, heading 91.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,280 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 08 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 213 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was heavy at -691 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius. The total landing distance was 1,188 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 828 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 137 minutes. The aircraft used 5,256 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KBUR Hollywood Burbank Airport, achieving a score of 93.1%. The final approach to runway 08 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 91.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 137 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a heavier touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -691 feet per minute (fpm) was considered heavy, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or sink during the landing. This could be attributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the pilot's attempt to correct for the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, which is relatively mild and should not have had a significant impact on the aircraft's performance. The total landing distance of 1,188 meters was 67% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, including the slightly fast touchdown speed and the heavy touchdown rate. However, the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft and achieve a good runway rollout alignment was commendable.
