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 0.7°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,982 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,642 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-700 began at KSJC Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport, where the aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway in 9 minutes, covering 2 nm. The departure roll was from runway 30L, with a takeoff distance of 4,022 ft, which was 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 kt. The local weather at departure was 70°F with a 7 kt wind coming from 327°, resulting in a 1 kt crosswind and a 7 kt headwind.
The enroute climb began 1 mile north of Santa Clara, California, with the aircraft climbing from 1,110 ft asl to 37,958 ft asl, covering 109 nm in 17 minutes. The enroute level cruise started 3 miles north of Williams, California, lasting 36 minutes and covering 270 nm. The enroute descent began 5 miles east of Culp Creek, Oregon, with the aircraft descending from 38,096 ft asl to 8,874 ft asl, covering 93 nm in 14 minutes. The second enroute level cruise started overhead OR40 Dietz Airpark Canby, Oregon, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm. The second enroute descent began overhead Rivergrove, Oregon, with the aircraft descending from 8,290 ft asl to 1,807 ft asl, covering 14 nm in 9 minutes.
The final approach to runway 10R at KPDX Portland International Airport was from the northwest, heading 119.0° at 3 nm and 1,761 ft agl. The landing on runway 10R had a good threshold height and speed at 118 kt. The touchdown point was 262 ft beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 113 kt and a fair touchdown rate of -229 ft/m. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 ft from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 4,057 ft, which was 37% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the total flight distance was 501 nm, taking 134 minutes and using 7,207 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Portland International Airport (KPDX) on runway 10R. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, with a heading of 119.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,761 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 118 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 262 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 113 knots. However, the touchdown rate was slightly less than ideal, coming in at -229 feet per minute (fpm), which was classified as fair. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, deviating by 12 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F. The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 4,057 feet, which accounted for 37% of the runway length. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent during the landing process.
Overall, the landing was deemed successful, with a score of 99.2%. While there were some minor deviations from ideal performance, the aircraft's touchdown speed and rollout alignment were satisfactory, and the landing distance was within acceptable limits.
