Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 0 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Level the wings with coordinated aileron on short final so bank stays near wings-level through touchdown.
What happened: Wings were not level through the landing phase, with bank angle at 5.9° on short final.
Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator, holding it near wings-level through the landing and touchdown.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 1,521 fpm, more than 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 7,351 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,189 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KECP Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, the Boeing B737-800 began its journey with a taxiing period of 9 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 34, with the aircraft taking off in a distance of 6,015 feet, which accounted for 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed of 153 knots was achieved, and the aircraft began its ascent into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 80°F and a wind speed of 0 knots.
As the aircraft climbed from 1,046 feet above sea level to 36,001 feet, it covered a distance of 133 nautical miles in 20 minutes, achieving an increase of 34,955 feet. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 5 miles southwest of Movico, Alabama, and lasted for 44 minutes, covering a distance of 330 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 36,001 feet to 9,003 feet in 16 minutes, covering 104 nautical miles. The descent phase was punctuated by several level cruise segments, with the final approach to runway 13L at KDAL Dallas Love Field initiated from the northwest, at an altitude of 1,421 feet above ground level.
The Boeing B737-800 landed on runway 13L, with a total landing distance of 4,594 feet, accounting for 63% of the runway length. The touchdown point was 802 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 131 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -137 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off-centre. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 7 minutes. The total flight distance was 626 nautical miles, with a flight time of 1 hour and 9 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 10,313 pounds.
The Boeing B737-800 touched down on runway 13L at KDAL Dallas Love Field, demonstrating a good threshold height and speed of 145 kt. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a heading of 132.0° at 4 nm and 1,421 ft above ground level. The touchdown point was 802 ft beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 131 kt, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth at -137 fpm, indicating a well-controlled descent.
However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 31 ft. This deviation was also observed during the rollout phase, where the aircraft was 50 ft off-centreline. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing distance of 4,594 ft was within 63% of the available runway length of 7,344 ft. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 85°F and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The landing performance of the Boeing B737-800 at KDAL Dallas Love Field was evaluated as 89.4%, reflecting a good overall score. While there were some minor deviations from the centreline, the aircraft's approach and touchdown characteristics were satisfactory, and the landing distance was within acceptable limits.
