MY FS FLIGHTS
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
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to stop the drift as soon as it starts in the flare.
What happened: On the landing you drifted 28 ft off the centreline, and that kind of lateral drift usually carries through to a touchdown point 28 ft off centreline and into a rollout that is still skewed off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Heading indicator: track straight down the extended runway centreline through touchdown and rollout.
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 10,989 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,410 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 25R at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in 9 minutes, covering approximately 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 25R, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 6,103 ft, representing 59 % of the runway, and lifted off at 153 kt. Ambient conditions were temperature 110 °F with wind 5 kt from 257°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 5 kt headwind.
Climb commenced 1 mile southeast of Central City, Arizona, with the airplane ascending from 2,004 ft asl to 35,988 ft asl, an increase of 33,984 ft achieved in 16 minutes while covering 103 nm.
The first cruise segment began 14 miles north of Jerome, Arizona, and persisted for 100 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 761 nm at level flight.
Descent started 5 miles northwest of ID33 Stocking Meadows Airport, Clarkia, Idaho, with a reduction from 35,929 ft asl to 3,930 ft asl, a loss of 31,999 ft over 17 minutes and a distance of 90 nm.
A brief cruise followed the descent, originating 1 mile southwest of WN61 Tai’s Landing Airport, Spokane, Washington, lasting 3 minutes and covering 7 nm.
The final approach to runway 21 at KGEG Spokane International Airport was executed from the northeast, on a heading of 226.0°, at 4 nm and 1,164 ft agl.
Landing on runway 21 was performed with a threshold speed of 141 kt; touchdown occurred at 1,408 ft down the runway, at 134 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 180 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 24 ft from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 3,924 ft, equivalent to 36 % of the runway length of 10,989 ft.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, with the aircraft remaining on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 968 nm in 152 minutes and consumed 14,056 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 entered the final approach to runway 21 at KGEG Spokane International Airport from the north-east on a heading of 226.0° at 4 nm and 1,164 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft established a good threshold speed of 141 kt and began the flare. Touchdown distance was good at 1,408 ft, touchdown speed was good at 134 kt and touchdown rate was good at minus 180 fpm. The runway length is 10,989 ft and the threshold height was good. Ambient temperature was 72 °F with wind 3 kt from 084°, a 2 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt tailwind component.
The aircraft touched down slightly misaligned by 24 ft from the centreline. Total landing distance was 3,924 ft, representing 36 % of the runway, and the touchdown point remained within the expected aim zone.
Runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
Minor refinement of centreline tracking is advised to reduce the 24-ft offset observed at touchdown, ensuring the aircraft remains precisely on the centreline from flare through rollout while maintaining the established aim point about 300 m (1,000 ft) in. Overall performance was excellent, reflected by the 96.8 % score.
