Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 30 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 139 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 147 kt, 8 kt above the 139 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 139 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,620 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 802 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a 20-minute taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 17L at KDEN Denver International Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,637 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 42°F and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 210°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 2 miles southeast of KDEN, rising from an altitude of 6,376 feet above sea level to 37,933 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,557 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 125 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 7 miles southwest of CO61 Golden Field Airport in Gardner, Colorado. This phase lasted for 34 minutes and covered a distance of 270 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 18 miles north of KTCS Truth or Consequences Municipal Airport in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. The descent from 37,988 feet above sea level to 7,297 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,690 feet, took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 114 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase 5 miles south of Sunland Park, New Mexico, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 5 miles southwest of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and the aircraft descended from 7,338 feet above sea level to 5,108 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,230 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at KELP El Paso International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 50.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,182 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 04 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 800 feet and a touchdown speed of 136 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was good at -162 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 41°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 30°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 3,997 feet, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 529 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 103 minutes. The aircraft used 8,014 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KELP El Paso International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 50.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,182 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to runway 04 was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 142 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 800 feet was within acceptable limits, demonstrating good control and stability during the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 136 knots, which was a little fast. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent and minimal impact on the aircraft's landing gear. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft aligning itself precisely with the centerline of the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 41°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 30°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots, which the aircraft successfully managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 3,997 feet was 38% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient landing.
The rollout alignment after touchdown was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its alignment with the centerline of the runway. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, demonstrating the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
