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 2.4°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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.

Side view — the last 1,705 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,705 m of the 2,748 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 333 m touchdown sits inside 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 31L at KDAL Dallas Love Field, with a takeoff distance of 1,267 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -5°C, with a wind speed of 20 knots at a direction of 339°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 18 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead KDAL Dallas Love Field, and climbed from an altitude of 1,470 feet above sea level to 30,824 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,354 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 110 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 7 miles west of 6OK7 Cochran Ranch Airport, Atoka, Oklahoma, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting 2 miles south of Savanna, Oklahoma, and climbed from 30,814 feet above sea level to 32,450 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,637 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles northeast of Krebs, Oklahoma, and lasted for 22 minutes, covering a distance of 188 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles north of MO14 Marshall Field, Fair Grove, Missouri, and descended from 32,574 feet above sea level to 1,820 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,754 feet, in 27 minutes and covering a distance of 153 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12L at KSTL St. Louis Lambert International Airport was made from the northwest, heading 122.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 12L, which had a length of 2,748 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 143 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 335 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -104 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -13°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 20°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,628 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 488 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 85 minutes. The aircraft used 3,394 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KSTL St. Louis Lambert International Airport on runway 12L. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 122.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 143 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 335 meters was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly higher than the recommended value, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance.
The touchdown rate of -104 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled and gentle touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -13°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 20°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,628 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a short distance. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the approach and landing phases.
