Flight Score
Departure
Reduce power to hold the correct climb speed from the start of the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, the aircraft was flown faster than the target climb speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: the normal climb speed band during the climb
Arrival
Reduce power on final so the aircraft arrives at 152 kt over the threshold instead of carrying excess speed.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 179 kt against a 152 kt target usually carries extra energy into the flare as a balloon, and the sink that returns afterward usually arrives hard at touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 152 kt at the threshold
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up, centreline 1.1° off, against a 1° limit and speed 77 kt FAST on the reference speed of 152 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: gear still up, sink rate 2,241 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, wings 15° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 68 kt FAST on the reference speed of 152 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,585 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 180 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.84 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 787-10 taxied to runway 29 at KRDM Roberts Field and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,527 m, representing 71 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 137 kt. Ambient temperature was 7 °C with a wind from 150° at 4 kt, a 2 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt tailwind component.
During the initial climb the aircraft passed overhead Redmond, Oregon, climbing from 4,026 ft asl to 6,489 ft asl. The altitude gain of 2,463 ft was achieved in 1 minute while covering 3 nm.
A subsequent climb segment began 1 mile north-west of 3OR8 Cline Falls Air Park, Redmond. The airplane rose from 4,467 ft asl to 4,821 ft asl, an increase of 354 ft accomplished over 3 minutes and a distance of 10 nm.
The descent phase started 2 miles south of Terrebonne, Oregon. The aircraft descended from 6,481 ft asl to 4,498 ft asl, a loss of 1,983 ft in 2 minutes while traversing 5 nm.
For the final approach the airplane was aligned with runway 16 at KBDN Bend Municipal Airport, approaching from the north on a heading of 182.0°. At 4 nm from the threshold the aircraft was at 1,387 ft agl.
Landing was executed on runway 16, whose length is 1,585 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 179 kt, while touchdown occurred at 176 kt. Touchdown distance measured 184 m, the vertical speed was minus 693 fpm, and the touchdown point was offset 6.8 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 9 °C, wind from 209° at 4 kt, a 2 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind component.
Overall, the flight covered 24 nm, required 7 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 1,000 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 24R at FNBJ Dr. Antonio Agostinho Neto Int with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed was also well-managed, coming in at 134 kt, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown speed of 124 kt was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -182 fpm was within the desired parameters.
The touchdown point was located 62 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 m from the centreline, which may require some adjustment in the approach and landing technique. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24 °C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,022 m, which accounts for 27% of the runway length, is within the acceptable range for a Boeing 737-800. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of control and precision during the final stages of the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 98.4%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
