Flight Score
Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 3°.
What happened: The wings held 3° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 3.2° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.
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 1,729 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,729 m of the 2,451 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 848 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KPIT Pittsburgh International Airport took approximately 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The Boeing 737-800 then began its departure roll on runway 28R, utilizing 45% of the 1,431-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 151 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 18 °C, with a 12-knot wind blowing from 239°, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and a 10-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of KPIT, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile northeast of Clinton, Pennsylvania, at an altitude of 2,267 feet above sea level. The climb continued for 14 minutes, covering 87 nautical miles and increasing the aircraft's altitude to 33,253 feet above sea level, a total increase of 30,986 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a 27-minute level cruise, covering 218 nautical miles, before beginning its enroute descent approximately 1 mile north of Prattsville, New York. The descent from 33,047 feet above sea level to 1,545 feet above sea level took 24 minutes, covering 145 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at KMHT Manchester-Boston Regional Airport was initiated from the northwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 157.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,297 feet above ground level. The landing was completed on the 2,451-meter runway, with the touchdown point located 426 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 116 knots and touchdown rate of -97 feet per minute were both within acceptable limits. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 2 minutes. The total flight distance of 459 nautical miles was achieved in 74 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 3,072 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 17 at KMHT Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, completing a successful approach from the north west. The aircraft's final approach was characterized by a heading of 157.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,297 feet above ground level, with a slight deviation from the target threshold height of 61 feet above ground level. The threshold speed of 141 knots was also slightly above the target, but the touchdown speed of 116 knots was well within acceptable limits.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited excellent characteristics, with a touchdown rate of -97 feet per minute and a perfect runway touchdown alignment. The touchdown point was 426 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind of 12 knots at 190°, contributed to a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot maintained control and executed a smooth touchdown.
The aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment along the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,642 meters was 67% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled stop. Overall, the landing was deemed a success, with a score of 93.7%. The pilot's skill and attention to detail were evident throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases, resulting in a high-quality landing.
