Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 25°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 60 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 60 ft, 15 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,094 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 703 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 09 at San Diego International Airport (KSAN). The Boeing 737-800 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 1,301 meters, which was 62% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 161 knots, marking the start of its ascent.
As the aircraft climbed, it began to gain altitude, rising from 972 feet above sea level to 1,131 feet above sea level in just 1 minute. This climb covered a distance of 3 nautical miles, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude. The climb phase was initiated overhead the airport, marking the beginning of the enroute climb.
Following the climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. This brief period of steady flight allowed the aircraft to stabilize and prepare for its final approach.
The final approach to runway 09 was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 102.0 degrees at an altitude of 610 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway. The approach was characterized by a good threshold speed of 148 knots, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
The touchdown point was located 291 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which was slightly beyond the expected landing point. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -197 feet per minute was also satisfactory. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,113 meters, which was 53% of the runway's length. This was a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured and the pilot executed the landing smoothly. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in less than 1 minute. This brief taxiing period was a testament to the aircraft's maneuverability and the pilot's efficiency.
The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft consumed 372 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which was a relatively efficient use of resources. Overall, the flight was characterized by smooth and efficient operations, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and skill throughout the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at San Diego International Airport (KSAN) on runway 09, achieving an impressive score of 86.7%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 102.0° at 1 nautical mile and 610 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's descent was smooth, with a threshold height significantly above the target, indicating a good approach path.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was within the acceptable range at 136 knots, and the touchdown rate was also good at -197 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 340°, resulting in a minimal crosswind and tailwind of 3 and 2 knots, respectively.
The touchdown point was located 291 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance but still within the acceptable range. The total landing distance was 1,113 meters, accounting for 53% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for safe braking and rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, further emphasizing the pilot's expertise and control during the landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot demonstrating good control and decision-making skills. The score of 86.7% reflects the high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures exhibited by the pilot during this landing.
