Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 15 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 5,314 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,314 ft of the 10,560 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,413 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Monterey Peninsula Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, the aircraft lined up on runway 10R and initiated the departure roll, accelerating down the 5,562-foot runway, which was 82% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 163 knots, clearing the ground with a smooth motion.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southeast of Del Rey Oaks, California. The climb phase was a significant portion of the flight, with the aircraft ascending from 1,222 feet above sea level to 32,996 feet, an increase of 31,774 feet in just 20 minutes, covering a distance of 135 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 36 minutes and covered 272 nautical miles, before beginning its descent phase. The descent from 32,998 feet to 5,335 feet took 19 minutes, covering 111 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a brief level cruise phase, lasting 5 minutes and covering 19 nautical miles, before commencing its final approach to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
The final approach to runway 08 at KPHX was initiated from the west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 90.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,246 feet above ground level. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 142 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was 1,424 feet, which was within acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 546 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 9,400 pounds of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 1 hour and 31 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 08 at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, characterized by a stable and controlled descent. The aircraft was established on the final approach from the west, heading 90.0° at 4 nm and 1,246 ft above ground level. The good threshold height and slight excess in threshold speed, at 149 kt, were noted.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a touchdown distance of 1,424 ft, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 142 kt was slightly above the target, resulting in a touchdown rate of -161 fpm, which was still within the desired range. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 84 °F and a wind of 2 kt at 0°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.
The total landing distance of 5,080 ft, which accounted for 48% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 99.9% reflecting the aircraft's precise control and stable touchdown characteristics.
