Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Smooth out your control inputs through touchdown and rollout, easing the controls rather than snapping them to avoid sharp g spikes.
What happened: Average g force through the landing came out at 1 g, well above the smooth, steady loading expected through touchdown and rollout.
Watch for: G-force meter: hold it within the normal smooth range through touchdown and rollout.
See Arrival Landing
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,497 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,162 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 07L at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, a movement that lasted 10 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 07L, the aircraft achieved a takeoff distance of 5,219 ft, 51 % of runway, and lifted off at 142 kt. Local weather was temperature 84 °F with wind 3 kt from 69°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 3 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile east of KPHX, with the aircraft ascending from 2,026 ft asl to 37,708 ft asl, an increase of 35,682 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 115 nm.
The first level cruise began 5 miles west of Parks, Arizona, and persisted for 98 minutes, during which 773 nm were flown.
Descent started 3 miles north-east of Buena, Washington, with altitude decreasing from 38,146 ft asl to 24,348 ft asl, a loss of 13,798 ft in 7 minutes over 51 nm.
A brief cruise segment originated 13 miles east of 21W Ranger Creek State Airport, Greenwater, Washington, lasting 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nm.
Subsequent descent began again 13 miles east of 21W Ranger Creek State Airport, descending from 23,973 ft asl to 3,006 ft asl, a reduction of 20,967 ft completed in 14 minutes across 67 nm.
Another short cruise segment started 1 mile west of Medina, Washington, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
Final approach to runway 16R at KSEA Seattle-Tacoma International Airport was executed from the north, on a heading of 181.0°, at 4 nm and 1,306 ft agl.
Landing on runway 16R, which is 8,490 ft long, was performed with a threshold speed of 130 kt. Touchdown occurred at 1,161 ft from the threshold, at a speed of 125 kt and a rate of minus 93 fpm, with very good runway-touchdown alignment. Local weather reported temperature 62 °F, wind 4 kt from 225°, a cross-wind component of 3 kt and a head-wind component of 3 kt. Total landing distance was 2,695 ft, 32 % of runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline during the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 11 minutes, covering 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,022 nm, required 158 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 13,074 lb of fuel.
The final approach to runway 16R at KSEA Seattle-Tacoma International Airport was conducted from the north on a heading of 181.0° at 4 nm and 1,306 ft agl, with local temperature 62 °F, wind 4 kt from 225°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 130 kt.
Touchdown occurred 1,161 ft down the runway at a good speed of 125 kt, with an excellent touchdown rate of minus 93 fpm and a very good runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance was 2,695 ft, representing 32 % of the 8,490 ft runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
With a final score of 98.9 % the landing was well within limits; fine-tuning the touchdown point to further reduce the landing distance and confirming alignment consistency will help maintain this high performance.
