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
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 83 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 83 ft, 38 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,481 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,415 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 737-900 took off from runway 05 at KBUF Buffalo Niagara International Airport, departing into a local weather pattern characterized by a temperature of 79 °F and a gentle headwind of 5 kt. The aircraft accelerated down the 4,629-foot runway, reaching liftoff speed of 159 kt at 56% of the runway's length. Following a 9-minute taxi from the parking area, the aircraft began its departure roll.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 33,653 ft in 16 minutes and covering 96 nm. The climb phase was initiated 1 mile southeast of Williamsville, New York, and concluded 7 miles southwest of Port Rowan, Ontario, Canada. The aircraft then entered a 51-minute level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 33,653 ft and covering 244 nm. Following a 24-minute descent from 33,990 ft to 1,945 ft, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 09L at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The approach was conducted from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 91.0° at 4 nm and 1,268 ft above ground level.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 09L at KORD, with a touchdown speed of 138 kt and a touchdown rate of -368 fpm. The touchdown distance was 1,417 ft, with the aircraft rolling out to a total distance of 4,107 ft, or 55% of the runway's length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, but the aircraft's rollout alignment was very good. Following a 7-minute taxi to the parking area, the aircraft completed its flight, having covered a total distance of 472 nm and consumed 8,545 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft, designated as B739, successfully landed on runway 09L at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The approach to the runway, which was aligned with a heading of 91.0° from a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level, was characterized by good quality. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, with the threshold height being well managed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 138 knots, which was slightly below the threshold speed of 146 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,417 feet was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -368 feet per minute was firm but not excessive. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 16 feet, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind of 6 knots at 60°, contributed to a relatively calm environment for the landing.
The aircraft's rollout on the runway was very good, with excellent alignment to the centreline. The total landing distance of 4,107 feet was 55% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
