Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 332 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 346 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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 7,351 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,821 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hollywood Burbank Airport (KBUR), the Boeing 737 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 15, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 68°F and a gentle headwind of 3 knots.
After a successful departure roll, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of North Hollywood, California. The climb phase was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, from 1,606 feet above sea level to 18,211 feet, a gain of 16,605 feet in just 7 minutes. This was followed by a brief level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles, before the aircraft began another climb phase, this time from 18,999 feet to 36,947 feet, an increase of 17,948 feet in 9 minutes. The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 115 minutes and covering 877 nautical miles, before starting its descent phase, which began 7 miles south of Electra, Texas. The descent phase was characterized by a series of level cruise phases, interspersed with descent phases, as the aircraft gradually lost altitude and began its final approach to runway 13L at Dallas Love Field (KDAL).
The final approach was executed from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 136.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,290 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point located 464 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was good at 127 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -240 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance was 3,723 feet, which was 51% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,142 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 178 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 16,102 pounds.
The B737 touched down on runway 13L at KDAL Dallas Love Field, showcasing a commendable approach quality. The aircraft descended from 1,290 feet above ground level (agl) at 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning itself with the heading of 136.0°. The threshold height was satisfactory, allowing for a smooth transition into the landing phase. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was well-managed at 127 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown point was 464 feet beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The touchdown rate of -240 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting a moderate deceleration. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill in maintaining the aircraft's centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 73°F and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 284°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 3,723 feet, accounting for 51% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, showcasing the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing performance earned a score of 95.9%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
