Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 22 ft.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 22 ft, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 66 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 66 ft, 21 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,615 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,615 ft of the 8,405 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,980 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 07 at MKJS Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The takeoff distance was 3,635 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 89°F and winds of 4 knots at 120°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb began 1 mile northeast of MKJS Sangster International Airport. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 892 feet above sea level to 34,061 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,169 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 39 miles southwest of Santa Cruz del Sur in Cuba and lasted for 31 minutes, covering a distance of 228 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 67 miles west of MYAB Clarence A. Bain Airport in Mangrove Cay, Bahamas. The descent from 34,066 feet above sea level to 1,278 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,788 feet, took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 119 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at KMIA Miami International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 299.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,258 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a total landing distance of 6,349 feet, which accounted for 76% of the runway. The touchdown point was 1,614 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was slightly above target at 140 knots. However, the touchdown speed at 133 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -269 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 88°F and winds of 2 knots at 0°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 473 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 94 minutes. The aircraft used 8,433 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 30. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 299.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing speed. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was a bit faster than desired, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -269 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the touchdown rate was still considered fair.
The touchdown point was located 1,614 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant distance. This may be attributed to the aircraft's slightly fast touchdown speed and the resulting longer landing distance. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 0°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, with 2 knots and 1 knot, respectively. The total landing distance of 6,349 feet was 76% of the available runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. These deviations may be addressed through further training and adjustments to the aircraft's performance.
