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 8.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 145 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 151 kt, 6 kt above 145 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 145 kt at the threshold.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 1,642 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,642 m of the 3,041 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 613 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KGEG Spokane International Airport, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey with a taxiing period of 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 21, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 163 knots after a takeoff distance of 1,914 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 26°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 199°, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and a 13-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of KGEG, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of the airport, ascending from 3,461 feet above sea level to 32,998 feet, a vertical increase of 29,536 feet, over a distance of 122 nautical miles in 11 minutes. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 11 miles southeast of S34 Plains, Montana, and lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 792 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated its enroute descent 6 miles southwest of Minneota, Minnesota, and descended from 32,975 feet to 2,152 feet, a decrease of 30,823 feet, over a distance of 129 nautical miles in 17 minutes. The final approach to runway 12R at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport was conducted from the northwest, with the aircraft aligning with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,303 feet above ground level.
The Boeing 737-900 landed on runway 12R at KMSP, with a total landing distance of 1,564 meters, accounting for 51% of the runway. The touchdown point was 199 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 147 knots, which was slightly faster than desired. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.2 meters from the centerline. Following a taxiing period of 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft arrived at the parking area. The total flight distance was 1,051 nautical miles, with a flight time of 61 minutes and a fuel consumption of 6,767 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 12R at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, displaying a good threshold height as it aligned with the runway. The threshold speed was well-managed, coming in at 151 kt, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down at a speed of 147 kt, slightly above the ideal, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -218 fpm.
The touchdown point was located 199 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. However, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 7.2 m from the centreline, showcasing the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and a moderate headwind of 12 kt, did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,564 m, accounting for 51% of the runway length, was within acceptable parameters. The runway rollout alignment was particularly impressive, with the aircraft maintaining a very good centreline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was deemed a success, with a score of 95.9% reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
