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
Apply small rudder corrections at touchdown, aiming at a point at the far end of the runway, to stay on the centreline.
What happened: Touchdown drifted 20 ft off the centreline, and landings like this usually carry that drift into the rollout, where the alignment error grew to 35 ft.
Watch for: Runway centreline: aircraft tracking directly over it 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 10,398 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 992 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the B737 began with a 9-minute taxi from the parking area to runway 20R at KSNA John Wayne Orange County International Airport. The departure roll covered 3,599 ft, which was 63% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 129 kt, with the local weather showing a temperature of 73 °F and wind at 0 kt at 165 °, resulting in no crosswind or headwind.
The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of Costa Mesa, climbing from 1,011 ft above sea level to 35,559 ft, covering 88 nm in 14 minutes. The level cruise began 4 miles southwest of Stevenson Ranch, lasting 22 minutes and covering 154 nm. The descent started 8 miles southwest of Cantua Creek, descending from 35,841 ft to 7,180 ft, covering 85 nm in 14 minutes. Another brief level cruise occurred 9 miles northeast of East Foothills for 2 minutes, covering 6 nm, before the final descent began 7 miles southeast of Sunol, descending from 7,008 ft to 1,335 ft in 8 minutes, covering 21 nm.
The final approach to runway 30 at KOAK San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport was from the southeast, with the aircraft at 4 nm at 1,319 ft above ground level, heading at 310.0 °. The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,101 ft at a speed of 130 kt and a touchdown rate of -216 ft/m. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 28 ft from the centerline. The total landing distance was 3,481 ft, using 33% of the runway length, with a slight misalignment of 42 ft from the centerline during rollout.
After landing, a 6-minute taxi from the runway to the parking area covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 360 nm, lasting 80 minutes and using 6,455 lbs of fuel.
The B737 aircraft successfully completed a landing on runway 30 at KOAK San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport, achieving a score of 94.9%. The final approach to the runway from the south east, heading 310.0° at 4 nm and 1,319 ft above ground level (agl), was executed with good quality. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, and the threshold height was well managed, allowing for a smooth transition to the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 130 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown distance of 1,101 ft was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate of -216 fpm was slightly higher than ideal, indicating a slightly steeper descent than desired. The runway touchdown position was 28 ft off-centreline, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned rollout alignment of 42 ft off-centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 62 °F and a light headwind of 1 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,481 ft was 33% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. Overall, the landing was executed with good threshold speed control, and the aircraft's speed and distance metrics were within acceptable ranges. However, the slightly misaligned touchdown and rollout positions may require attention to improve the aircraft's centreline alignment during future landings.
