Flight Score
Departure
Reduce power to hold the correct climb speed from the start of the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, the aircraft was flown faster than the target climb speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: the normal climb speed band during the climb
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 130 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 141 kt, 11 kt above 130 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: 130 kt at the threshold.
Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

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 9,016 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,029 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX), the Boeing 737-700 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the designated runway, 24L, in a mere 7 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on the runway, it was met with a local weather condition of 63°F temperature and a wind speed of 18 kt from 240°, resulting in a 7 kt crosswind and a 16 kt headwind. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 130 kt, utilizing 3,020 ft of the 9,400 ft runway, which accounted for 32% of its length.
As the aircraft climbed away from KLAX, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of the airport, ascending from 1,042 ft to 40,829 ft in a mere 23 minutes, covering a distance of 172 nm. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 15 miles northwest of Niland Airport (KNII) and lasted for 130 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a significant 1,154 nm. The cruise phase was punctuated by a descent, which began 7 miles southwest of Phillips Field (MO23) and saw the aircraft descend from 40,973 ft to 1,829 ft in 21 minutes, covering 111 nm. The final approach to St. Louis Lambert International Airport (KSTL) was initiated from the northwest, with the aircraft aligning itself with runway 12L at 4 nm and 1,294 ft above ground level.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 12L at KSTL, with a touchdown point 659 ft beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 126 kt. The touchdown rate was satisfactory at -160 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was excellent. The aircraft utilized 3,544 ft of the 9,016 ft runway, accounting for 39% of its length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 1,443 nm was achieved in 188 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 14,513 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 12L at KSTL St. Louis Lambert International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the threshold speed of 141 kt was significantly above the target, suggesting a slightly aggressive approach configuration. The aircraft continued its descent, touching down 659 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 126 kt, which was a little fast.
Despite the slightly high touchdown speed, the touchdown rate of -160 fpm was good, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 68 °F and a headwind of 12 kt, contributed to a relatively smooth landing. The crosswind component of 4 kt was minimal, allowing the pilot to maintain a stable approach.
The total landing distance of 3,544 ft was 39% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with a score of 98.0% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot.
