Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Carry more power on short final to hold 145 kt at the threshold instead of letting speed decay before the flare.
What happened: The threshold was crossed at 138 kt against a VREF of 145 kt, already below target, and the sink was fully arrested at 7.2 ft with speed continuing to bleed off - crossing the threshold slow like this usually carries forward into the aircraft settling on as the speed runs out, rather than flying onto the mains.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 145 kt on short final.
See Arrival Landing
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,135 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 970 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 20R at KSNA John Wayne Orange County International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,246 meters, which accounted for 72% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 208 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 5 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile east of Costa Mesa, California, and involved a significant ascent from 1,023 feet above sea level to 34,466 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,443 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 146 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 10 miles northwest of KMES Mesa Verde Airport in Mesa Verde, California. This phase lasted for 235 minutes and covered a distance of 1,937 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 4 miles west of Andes, New York, and involved a steep descent from 35,057 feet above sea level to 1,331 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,727 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 94 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 22 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport from the northeast, heading 212.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,305 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 22, which had a length of 2,135 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 139 knots. The touchdown point was 554 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 knots and a touchdown rate of -150 feet per minute, both of which were considered good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 271 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The total flight distance was 2,183 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 284 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 13,047 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LaGuardia Airport's runway 22, achieving an overall score of 86.0%. The final approach was initiated from the northeast, heading 212.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,305 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 139 knots. The touchdown point was located 554 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the ideal landing area. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -150 feet per minute (fpm) was also good.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.1 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 271°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, despite the slight deviation from the centerline. The aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were adequate to ensure a safe and controlled touchdown on the runway.
