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
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 58 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 58 ft, 13 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
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 9,779 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 833 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Dallas Love Field, taxiing from the parking area to the runway took 11 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Boeing B737-800 then took off from runway 13R, with a takeoff distance of 4,584 feet, which was 55% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 144 knots, with a local temperature of 68°F and a wind of 3 knots at 306°.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it covered 109 nautical miles in 17 minutes, increasing its altitude by 35,087 feet. The climb started 1 mile southeast of Dallas Love Field and continued until it reached 36,574 feet. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 5 minutes and covering 41 nautical miles, before starting another climb 5 miles south of Greenwood, Louisiana. This climb was shorter, increasing the altitude by 995 feet in 2 minutes. The aircraft then entered a series of level cruises and descents, with the final descent starting 2 miles west of False River Regional Airport, New Roads, Louisiana. The aircraft descended from 36,988 feet to 3,294 feet in 17 minutes, covering 96 nautical miles.
The Boeing B737-800 then entered a final level cruise, lasting 3 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles, before starting its final descent. The aircraft landed on runway 29 at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, with a touchdown distance of 827 feet and a touchdown speed of 146 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 4,477 feet, which was 46% of the runway length. The flight used 7,522 pounds of fuel and covered a total distance of 428 nautical miles, taking 84 minutes to complete.
The Boeing B737-800 touched down on runway 29 at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed of 147 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The aircraft's descent was controlled, with a touchdown distance of 827 ft, which was within the expected parameters.
However, the touchdown speed of 146 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -344 fpm. This may have been due to the crew's decision to maintain a higher speed to ensure a stable approach, despite the good threshold height. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 ft from the centreline, which may have been a result of the crosswind component of 1 kt. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 78 °F and a wind speed of 4 kt at 123 °, were relatively calm, with a slight tailwind component of 4 kt.
The aircraft's rollout was well-controlled, with a very good alignment to the centreline. The total landing distance of 4,477 ft was 46% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled stop. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 96.3%. The crew's ability to maintain a stable approach and control the touchdown and rollout phases was commendable, despite the slight deviations from optimal performance.
