Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 179 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 152 kt against a target of 179 kt, running 27 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 179 kt.
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 53 ft off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 7,500 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 7,500 ft of the 9,514 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,111 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 30L at KSJC Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport in 9 minutes, covering approximately 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 30L, the aircraft accelerated over a distance of 4,181 ft, representing 49 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 157 kt. Ambient conditions were 68 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 79°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile north of Santa Clara, California, where the airplane rose from 1,038 ft asl to 34,491 ft asl, an altitude gain of 33,453 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 127 nm.
The first cruise segment began 19 miles east of Sierra Village, California, and persisted for 234 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 1,877 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 3 miles west of Markleysburg, Pennsylvania, with the aircraft descending from 35,000 ft asl to 13,232 ft asl, a loss of 21,769 ft in 12 minutes while traversing 85 nm.
A brief cruise phase was initiated 1 mile east of Sharpsburg, Maryland, lasting 2 minutes and covering 9 nm at constant altitude.
The second descent began 1 mile east of Middletown, Maryland, where the airplane dropped from 12,992 ft asl to 1,405 ft asl, a reduction of 11,587 ft over 10 minutes and a distance of 41 nm.
Final approach to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport was conducted from 1 nm to 1 nm at an altitude of 1,245 ft agl, positioning the aircraft for touchdown.
During the touchdown segment the aircraft descended from 49 ft agl to 0 ft agl, a decrease of 49 ft in 8 seconds, and made ground contact at 131 kt with a smooth vertical rate of minus 146 fpm, the touchdown point being 466 ft beyond the touchdown zone. Local weather reported a temperature of 81 °F, wind 3 kt from 130°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component.
The landing rollout continued from an altitude of 147 ft asl and covered a distance of 4,989 ft before the aircraft exited the runway.
Taxi-in to the parking area from the runway required 10 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 2,147 nm, lasted 296 minutes, and consumed 26,528 lb of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 completed a final approach to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport from 1 nm to 1 nm at 1,245 ft AGL; the approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the aircraft was off the centreline. Local weather was 81 °F with wind 3 kt from 130°, including a 1 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
During the threshold and flare the aircraft descended from 49 ft AGL to 0 ft AGL, a decrease of 49 ft achieved in 8 seconds.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 131 kt, which was recorded as good, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 146 fpm. The touchdown point was 466 ft beyond the touchdown zone.
The rollout continued from an altitude of 147 ft ASL and covered a distance of 4,989 ft.
Improving centreline alignment on final approach and targeting the touchdown zone more precisely will address the primary deviations noted, helping to raise the overall score from the current 77.2 %.
