Retract gear by 400 feet
Next time
Rotate the moment the speed tape reaches 152 kt, not after it.
What linked up: Rotation was held until 165 kt, 13 kt past the 152 kt rotation target. Carrying that much extra speed into rotation usually adds unwanted energy right at liftoff.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the 152 kt rotation target.
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the runway to come to you instead of starting the flare at 88 ft.
What linked up: The flare began at 88 ft, well above the normal band and 43 ft earlier than the 45 ft limit.
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 5,666 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,666 ft of the 8,990 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,348 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Memphis International Airport (KMEM) served as the departure point for the Boeing 737‑9, which taxiing from the parking area to runway 36L required 14 minutes and covered 2 nm. The aircraft rolled onto runway 36L and achieved liftoff after a takeoff distance of 6,594 ft, utilizing 71 % of the available runway. Liftoff speed was 165 kt. Local conditions at departure were 83 °F with a wind of 3 kt from 286°, providing a 3 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind component. The climb phase commenced 1 mile northwest of KMEM, during which the aircraft increased altitude from 1,229 ft ASL to 34,003 ft ASL, an ascent of 32,774 ft completed in 17 minutes over a distance of 103 nm. The subsequent cruise segment began 4 miles southwest of Lonoke, Arkansas, lasting 30 minutes and covering 225 nm before the descent phase began 2 miles west of KMAY Hodges Airfield, Louisiana. Here the aircraft descended from 33,995 ft ASL to 6,193 ft ASL, a reduction of 27,802 ft in 17 minutes across 101 nm. A brief cruise of 3 minutes covered 11 nm starting 1 mile southeast of Hardin, Texas, followed by a descent 1 mile northwest of Dayton, Texas, where altitude fell from 6,003 ft ASL to 1,359 ft ASL, a drop of 4,644 ft in 7 minutes over 18 nm.
The final approach to runway 26R at George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport (KIAH) was conducted from the east, maintaining a heading of 270.0° at 4 nm and 1,256 ft AGL. Landing on runway 26R, which measures 8,990 ft, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 143 kt and touched down 990 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 138 kt. The touchdown rate was –98 fpm, and the runway alignment was described as perfect. The total landing distance was 5,408 ft, representing 60 % of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was noted as very good. Local weather at touchdown was 93 °F.
After touchdown, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area in 8 minutes, covering 2 nm. The entire flight covered a total distance of 468 nm, required 98 minutes of flight time, and consumed 8,757 lbs of fuel.
The final approach to runway 26R at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport was executed from the east with a heading of 270.0°, maintaining 4 nm and 1,256 ft AGL. The aircraft approached with a threshold height that met the required standard, and the threshold speed of 143 kt was achieved within the acceptable envelope. The touchdown occurred 990 ft beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 138 kt and a descent rate of –98 fpm, all of which were within the prescribed limits for a clean landing.
At touchdown, the aircraft was perfectly aligned with the runway centreline, and the touchdown alignment was described as perfect. The touchdown point was well within the runway limits, and the touchdown speed and rate were both within the optimal range. The aircraft’s alignment and speed at touchdown contributed to a smooth transition into the rollout phase.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good runway alignment, and the total landing distance was 5,408 ft, representing 60 % of the available runway length of 8,990 ft. The overall performance of the landing was rated at 95.9 %, reflecting the high quality of the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases under the local weather conditions of 93 °F.
