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 532 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 1,500 ft instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 274 ft past the target, landing at 1,774 ft against the 1,500 ft aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 1,500 ft from the threshold.
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 12,263 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,774 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
