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
Begin raising the nose earlier, as soon as you reach 11 ft, rather than waiting until closer to the runway.
What happened: The flare began at 1.7 ft, 9.6 ft later than the normal band, leaving little time to arrest the sink. A late flare like this usually carries through to a firmer-than-normal touchdown.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, calling the flare at 11 ft.
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 5,878 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,878 ft of the 10,305 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 394 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.94 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.

KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport served as the departure point for the Boeing 787‑9, which taxiing from the parking area to runway 15L required 16 minutes and covered 1 nm. The aircraft rolled out on runway 15L, achieving liftoff speed of 141 kt after a takeoff distance of 5,193 ft, which represented 43 % of the available runway. Local temperature at departure was 59 °F.
The climb phase began 1 mile south of KIAH, with the aircraft ascending from 1,058 ft to 38,002 ft, an increase of 36,943 ft over 13 minutes while covering 85 nm. Level cruise commenced 2 miles south of 47TS Hensarling Airport, Madisonville, Texas, lasting 36 minutes and covering 272 nm. Descent over Prague, Oklahoma, saw a reduction from 37,252 ft to 25,878 ft, a drop of 11,373 ft in 5 minutes across 38 nm. A brief cruise 6 miles west of Yale, Oklahoma, lasted 11 minutes and covered less than 1 nm before a descent from 25,878 ft to 2,852 ft, a decrease of 23,026 ft in 23 minutes over 99 nm.
Final approach to runway 01L at KICT Wichita Eisenhower National Airport was conducted from the south, heading 20.0° at 4 nm and 1,516 ft AGL. Landing on the 10,291 ft runway, the threshold speed was 140 kt and touchdown speed 139 kt, with a touchdown distance of 388 ft and a touchdown rate of –431 fpm. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 29 ft from the centreline, resulting in a total landing distance of 5,626 ft, or 55 % of the runway. The entire flight covered 500 nm, took 89 minutes, and consumed 16,258 lbs of fuel.
The final approach to runway 01L at KICT Wichita Eisenhower National Airport was executed from the south, maintaining a heading of 20.0° at 4 nm and 1,516 ft AGL. The aircraft approached the threshold with a good height and a threshold speed of 140 kt, indicating a well‑controlled descent profile. The touchdown occurred at 388 ft from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 139 kt and a touchdown rate of –431 fpm, demonstrating a precise and efficient flare.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft remained very close to the runway centreline, achieving a runway touchdown alignment that was described as very good. The rollout covered a total landing distance of 5,626 ft, which represents 55 % of the available runway length of 10,291 ft. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 29 ft from the centreline, a minor deviation that did not affect the overall performance.
Overall, the landing was scored at 95.2 %. The approach quality, threshold speed, touchdown characteristics, and rollout were all within the expected parameters, resulting in a high overall score. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 54 °F, were noted but did not impact the execution of the landing.
