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 3.2°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
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 5,341 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,341 ft of the 10,336 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,849 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 to the runway, which took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 19 at KVPS Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,145 feet, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 92 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 5 knots at 159 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KVPS Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport in Valparaiso, Florida. The climb took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 124 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 1,130 feet above sea level to 35,765 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 1 mile south east of Pine Level, Alabama. This cruise phase lasted for 40 minutes and covered a distance of 303 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles south west of 92IL Hunter Raffety Elevators Inc Airport in Cairo, Illinois. The descent took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 122 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 36,038 feet to 4,241 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 1 mile south east of O'Fallon, Missouri. This cruise phase was brief, lasting only 5 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 2 miles east of 45MO Waldmeister Farm Airport in St Peters, Missouri. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 3,642 feet to 1,824 feet.
The final approach to runway 12R at KSTL St. Louis Lambert International Airport was made from the north west, with the aircraft heading 122.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 12R, which had a length of 10,336 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 143 knots.
The touchdown point was 492 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 135 knots. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -52 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 20 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 79 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 3 knots at 79 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 5,083 feet, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 30 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 573 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 117 minutes. The aircraft used 10,604 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KSTL St. Louis Lambert International Airport on runway 12R. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 122.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 143 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 492 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the expected area. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was a bit faster than the ideal speed, but the touchdown rate of -52 feet per minute was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 20 feet from the centreline, which may require some adjustments during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 79°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 2 knots each, which contributed to a relatively smooth landing. The total landing distance of 5,083 feet was 49% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient space to come to a stop.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centre by 30 feet, which may require some correction to maintain a straight path. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and runway alignment to ensure a more precise and efficient landing.
