Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 0 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 19 ft off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,989 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,451 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Sacramento International Airport, where the Boeing B737-800 began its journey down runway 17R. After a taxiing period of 11 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile, the aircraft lifted off the ground, reaching a liftoff speed of 153 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 81°F, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 240°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 2-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 113 nautical miles, covering an altitude increase of 34,716 feet in 17 minutes. The climb phase concluded 5 miles northeast of Virginia City, Nevada, where the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, lasting 83 minutes and covering a distance of 461 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, decreasing its altitude from 36,000 feet to 7,850 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles. The descent phase concluded 3 miles west of Fairwood, Washington, where the aircraft transitioned into a final level cruise phase, lasting 13 minutes and covering a distance of 36 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 21 at Spokane International Airport, descending from 7,468 feet to 4,410 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 142 knots and a touchdown rate of -25 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 3,803 feet, accounting for 35% of the runway length. Following a taxiing period of 5 minutes, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 740 nautical miles, using 11,930 pounds of fuel in the process, and lasting a total of 131 minutes.
The Boeing B737-800 touched down on runway 21 at KGEG Spokane International Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in the landing phase. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 225.0° at 4 nm and 1,217 ft above ground level, demonstrating a well-executed instrument landing system (ILS) approach. The good threshold height and threshold speed of 147 kt indicated a well-coordinated descent and speed management.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown point was 155 ft beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 142 kt, which was slightly above the optimal range. However, the touchdown rate of -25 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 55 °F and a wind of 2 kt at 30°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment.
The total landing distance of 3,803 ft, which accounted for 35% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 99.4%.
