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
Level the wings with coordinated aileron on short final so bank stays near wings-level through touchdown.
What happened: Wings were not level through the landing phase, with bank angle at 2.3° on short final.
Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator, holding it near wings-level through the landing and touchdown.
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 5,482 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,482 ft of the 9,011 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 679 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from MKJS Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica, the Boeing B737-800 began its journey with a taxiing period of 12 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. As it rolled down runway 07, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 155 knots, achieving a takeoff distance of 5,970 feet, which accounted for 71% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 84°F, with a gentle wind of 3 knots at 180°, resulting in a minimal crosswind and a slight tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 132 nautical miles in 20 minutes, ascending from 944 feet above sea level to 38,045 feet. The climb phase was followed by a 52-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft covered 384 nautical miles, flying at a steady altitude. The descent phase commenced 6 miles southwest of Loxahatchee Airport in Florida, with the aircraft losing 31,356 feet in altitude over a distance of 102 nautical miles in 16 minutes. The final approach to runway 35R at KMCO Orlando International Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 144 knots and a touchdown distance of 691 feet, which was 58% of the runway length.
The landing was followed by a taxiing period of 12 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 645 nautical miles was achieved in 118 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 10,117 pounds of fuel. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 79°F, with a gentle wind of 2 knots at 290°, resulting in a minimal crosswind and a slight headwind. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 55 feet from the centreline.
The Boeing B737-800 touched down on runway 35R at KMCO Orlando International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 145 kt was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's energy state. However, the touchdown speed of 144 kt was slightly above the recommended threshold, contributing to a hard touchdown rate of -597 fpm.
The aircraft's touchdown distance of 691 ft was within the acceptable range, but the slight misalignment of 14 ft from the centreline at touchdown position highlighted a minor deviation from the ideal landing technique. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 79 °F and a light headwind of 1 kt, did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 5,265 ft, accounting for 58% of the runway length, was reasonable considering the aircraft's weight and the runway's length.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment deviated from the centreline by 55 ft, indicating a slight loss of directional control. Despite this, the overall landing performance earned a score of 88.2%, reflecting the pilot's proficiency in executing a safe and controlled landing. However, areas for improvement include refining the touchdown speed and rate, as well as maintaining better centreline alignment during the rollout phase.
