Flight Score
Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 2.9°.
What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,611 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,611 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 332 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (KMSY), the Boeing 737-800 began its journey on runway 11. Taxiing to the runway took 11 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. Following a smooth departure roll, the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 152 knots, utilizing 49% of the available runway length of 1,465 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21°C, with a 10-knot wind blowing from 180°, resulting in a 10-knot crosswind and a 3-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it passed overhead Kenner, Louisiana, and continued to ascend to 35,579 feet above sea level, a gain of 34,548 feet in 19 minutes, covering 108 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 6 miles southwest of Georgetown, Mississippi, and lasted for 73 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 500 nautical miles. The descent phase began 3 miles west of Mount Pulaski, Illinois, and the aircraft descended from 35,179 feet to 6,031 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,149 feet in 18 minutes, covering 101 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 04R at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW) was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 44.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,285 feet above ground level.
The Boeing 737-800 landed on runway 04R at KMDW, utilizing 97% of the available runway length of 1,611 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 141 knots, but the touchdown distance was good at 335 meters. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,561 meters. Following a short taxiing period of less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft arrived at the parking area. The total flight distance was 745 nautical miles, taking 2 hours and 10 minutes, and the aircraft utilized 5,504 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 04R at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -127 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft's speed at touchdown was slightly above the target, at 137 kt, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 335 m was good, considering the runway length of 1,611 m. The threshold height was also satisfactory, with the aircraft maintaining a good visual reference to the runway environment.
As the aircraft rolled out, it maintained perfect alignment with the centreline, a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8 °C and a headwind of 7 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The aircraft's performance was further enhanced by the absence of any crosswind component. The total landing distance of 1,561 m, which accounted for 97% of the runway length, was a good indication of the aircraft's ability to stop within a reasonable distance.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 89.7%. While there were some minor deviations from the target values, such as the slightly fast touchdown speed, the pilot's ability to maintain a smooth touchdown rate and perfect runway alignment more than made up for these minor shortcomings. The landing was a good example of a well-executed approach and touchdown, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
