Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 50 ft off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 4.8° of bank in the first climb segment and 5.9° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 43 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 43 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 43 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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 6,679 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,679 ft of the 8,039 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,904 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 25L at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX). The takeoff distance was 7,521 feet, which was 68% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 171 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 67°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 250°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of El Segundo, California, and ascended from an altitude of 1,159 feet above sea level to 33,165 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,006 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 103 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles east of the Daggett Airport (KDAG) in Barstow, California. This phase lasted for 151 minutes and covered a distance of 1,568 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 5 miles north of Hudson, Michigan, and descended from an altitude of 32,954 feet above sea level to 12,562 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,392 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 92 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase 15 miles southeast of the Leamington Airport (CLM2) in Ontario, Canada, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 18 miles north of Avon Lake, Ohio, and descended from an altitude of 12,451 feet above sea level to 2,227 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,224 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24L at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (KCLE) was made from the northeast, with a heading of 232.0° at an altitude of 1,439 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 24L, which had a length of 8,039 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 149 knots.
The touchdown point was 545 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 149 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -153 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 230°. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 6,420 feet, which was 80% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,808 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 209 minutes. The aircraft used 23,049 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KCLE Cleveland Hopkins International Airport on runway 24L, achieving a score of 94.1%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 232.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,439 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 149 knots. The touchdown point was located 545 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 149 knots was also a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -153 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 16 feet, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was negligible, but the headwind component was 4 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 6,420 feet was 80% of the available runway length of 8,039 feet, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for safe deceleration. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll and were able to bring it to a stop safely.
Overall, while there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft landed safely and efficiently at KCLE Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, achieving a score of 94.1%.
