Flight Score
Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,682 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 391 m touchdown sits inside 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 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 31 at KCMX Houghton County Memorial Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,102 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 340 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of KCMX Houghton County Memorial Airport and Hancock, Michigan. The climb took 31 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 2,159 feet above sea level to 38,493 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,334 feet. The distance covered during this period was 176 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 8 miles southeast of Floodwood, Minnesota. This phase of the flight lasted for 134 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,197 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles west of OG19 Bombay Farms Airport in Madras, Oregon. The descent took 4 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 37,591 feet above sea level to 26,622 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,969 feet. The distance covered during this period was 65 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 11 miles east of 13OR Aubrey Mountain Airstrip in Oakridge, Oregon. This phase of the flight lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 20 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 10 miles north of 3S6 Toketee State Airport in Clearwater, Oregon. The descent took 11 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 26,510 feet above sea level to 2,605 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,905 feet. The distance covered during this period was 62 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at KMFR Rogue Valley International Medford Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 159.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,303 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 394 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was perfect at -4 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 20 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 941 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,526 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 190 minutes. The aircraft used 10,059 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at Rogue Valley International Medford Airport (KMFR) on runway 14, achieving a score of 99.9%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 159.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,303 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a good threshold height and speed of 136 knots. The touchdown distance of 394 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilots may have needed to make some adjustments to the approach to achieve a more optimal touchdown speed.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the aircraft's touchdown rate was perfect at -4 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilots' skill and attention to detail during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 20°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 2 knots, which is relatively minimal and should not have had a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 941 meters was 35% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well and the pilots demonstrating their skill and expertise. The 99.9% score is a testament to the high level of proficiency and attention to detail required to achieve such a high level of performance.
