MY FS FLIGHTS
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
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 6.2 ft, 5 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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 5,735 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,735 ft of the 8,976 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,892 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 1.74 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in 12 minutes, covering approximately 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 34L at KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 153 kt. The takeoff run measured 6,323 ft, representing 53 % of the runway length, while ambient conditions were 80 °F with a wind of 3 kt from 61°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
Climb began about 1 mile northwest of KSLC, with the airplane ascending from 5,085 ft asl to 31,005 ft asl, a gain of 25,920 ft achieved in 14 minutes while covering 87 nm.
The first level-cruise segment started 5 nm southwest of Paris, Idaho, and persisted for 18 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 132 nm.
Descent was initiated 15 nm north of Ashton, Idaho, with the flight descending from 30,997 ft asl to 7,190 ft asl, a loss of 23,807 ft over 19 minutes and a distance of 107 nm.
A subsequent cruise phase commenced overhead MT42 Hasskamp STOLport, Three Forks, Montana, lasting 5 minutes and covering 14 nm.
The final approach to runway 12 at KBZN Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport was flown from the northwest, on a heading of 136.0° at 4 nm and 1,307 ft agl. Local weather reported a temperature of 56 °F, wind 3 kt from 48°, with a 3 kt cross-wind and no head-wind component.
Landing on runway 12 was executed with a threshold speed of 147 kt; the touchdown point occurred 571 ft beyond the touchdown zone and the aircraft touched down at 144 kt. The touchdown rate was recorded at minus 201 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 5,514 ft, equivalent to 61 % of the runway length, and the aircraft’s alignment was offset by 25 ft from the centreline.
After exiting the runway, the airplane taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 348 nm, required 74 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 6,648 lb of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 conducted the final approach to runway 12 at KBZN Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport from the north-west on a heading of 136.0° at 4 NM and 1,307 ft AGL, with temperature 56 °F, wind 3 kt from 048°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.
The threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 147 kt.
Touchdown occurred 571 ft beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 144 kt described as a little fast, a touchdown rate of -201 fpm rated fair, and runway touchdown alignment perfect.
The total landing distance was 5,514 ft, representing 61 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 25 ft from the centreline.
With a final score of 96.5 %, the landing was strong overall; refining the flare to achieve a touchdown point within the designated zone and tightening rollout alignment will further improve precision.
