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
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to stop the drift as soon as it starts in the flare.
What happened: On the landing you drifted 21 ft off the centreline, and that kind of lateral drift usually carries through to a touchdown point 21 ft off centreline and into a rollout that is still skewed off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Heading indicator: track straight down the extended runway centreline through touchdown and rollout.
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 7,580 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,446 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Portland International Airport, the Boeing B737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 28L, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 67°F and a gentle headwind of 2 knots. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 156 knots, utilizing 5,428 feet of the runway, which represented 49% of its total length.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its ascent from 1,017 feet above sea level, gradually increasing to 36,998 feet, a vertical gain of 35,981 feet, over a distance of 123 nautical miles, in a period of 18 minutes. The enroute climb phase concluded 16 miles southeast of McKenzie Bridge State Airport, and the aircraft entered a level cruise, maintaining a steady altitude for 79 minutes, covering a distance of 615 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 2 miles southeast of Shadow Hills, California, and the aircraft gradually decreased its altitude from 37,003 feet to 6,315 feet, a vertical loss of 30,688 feet, over a distance of 107 nautical miles, in a period of 16 minutes.
The final approach to runway 27 at San Diego International Airport began overhead Spring Valley, California, and the aircraft descended from 6,004 feet to 1,525 feet, a vertical loss of 4,478 feet, over a distance of 14 nautical miles, in a period of 5 minutes. The aircraft touched down on the runway, utilizing 1,443 feet of the available distance, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots, with a touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 3,856 feet, representing 51% of the runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding its journey of 873 nautical miles, which had taken 137 minutes, and utilized 11,610 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing B737-800 touched down on runway 27 at KSAN San Diego International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed of 139 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft's descent was controlled, resulting in a touchdown distance of 1,443 ft, which was within the expected parameters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 132 kt was good, and the rate of descent was -171 fpm, demonstrating a smooth and controlled touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 24 ft from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 65 °F and a light headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 3,856 ft, which accounted for 51% of the runway length, was within the expected range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the crew maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 97.8%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
