Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
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 2.5° 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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,986 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,347 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, the Boeing 737 began its journey on runway 25R, taking off with a distance of 5,599 feet, which accounted for 54% of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 148 knots, overcoming a headwind of 2 knots and a crosswind of 3 knots. The local temperature of 96 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind direction of 214 degrees contributed to the takeoff conditions.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent from 1,950 feet above sea level to 37,495 feet, a vertical increase of 35,546 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 6 miles northeast of Williams, Arizona, and lasted for 91 minutes, covering 683 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 38,003 feet to 6,818 feet in 16 minutes, covering 99 nautical miles. A brief level cruise phase followed, lasting only 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The final descent phase took the aircraft from 6,195 feet to 1,315 feet in 6 minutes, covering 16 nautical miles.
The Boeing 737 approached runway 28L at Portland International Airport from the southeast, aligning itself with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,278 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed with a touchdown distance of 1,357 feet, which was 36% of the available runway length. The touchdown speed of 124 knots and the touchdown rate of -164 feet per minute were both within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 936 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 12,577 pounds of fuel during the 143-minute flight.
The B737 touched down on runway 28L at KPDX Portland International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, characterized by a stable and controlled descent. The aircraft's threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the landing phase. The threshold speed of 130 kt was also well-managed, indicating a high degree of pilot proficiency.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 124 kt and descent rate of -164 fpm were both within acceptable limits, demonstrating a well-executed landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 ft from the centreline, which may be attributed to a minor deviation in the approach or a slight drift during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 1,357 ft was good, indicating a controlled and stable landing.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft tracking very close to the centreline. The total landing distance of 3,936 ft, which accounted for 36% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was deemed satisfactory, with a score of 97.9% reflecting the high degree of pilot proficiency and aircraft performance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 65 °F and a light headwind of 1 kt, also contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
