MY FS FLIGHTS
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
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 135 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 147 kt, 12 kt above the 135 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 135 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
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 5,040 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,040 ft of the 9,514 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,493 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing B737-800 departed Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, runway 32, with a takeoff distance of 3,535 feet, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 149 knots, with a local temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind of 6 knots at 280 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to 35,033 feet, it covered 119 nautical miles in 19 minutes, increasing its altitude by 34,068 feet. The enroute level cruise phase started 8 miles south of Bronson, Florida, and lasted 69 minutes, covering 543 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, first from 35,000 feet to 30,679 feet in 3 minutes, covering 16 nautical miles. The subsequent level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southwest of Chester, Virginia, lasted 183 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final descent, from 30,679 feet to 22,955 feet in 5 minutes, covering 33 nautical miles.
The final approach to landing at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport began with a descent from 1,241 feet above ground level to 0 feet agl, a decrease of 49 feet in 7 seconds. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 137 knots, with a smooth touchdown rate of -136 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 403 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The landing rollout covered 3,147 feet, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 938 nautical miles, taking 163 minutes, and the aircraft used 15,165 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing B737-800 touched down on Runway 19L at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, marking the conclusion of a final approach initiated from 1 nm out at 1,241 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a smooth descent from 49 ft agl to 0 ft agl in 7 seconds, demonstrating a well-executed flare. However, the touchdown speed of 137 kt was slightly above the recommended threshold, indicating a need for adjustment in the flare.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a smooth touchdown rate of -136 fpm, suggesting a well-coordinated landing. Nevertheless, the touchdown point was 403 ft beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 75 °F and a 4 kt wind at 160 °, contributed to a relatively calm environment, with a negligible crosswind component of 1 kt and a 3 kt headwind.
The landing rollout was completed at an altitude of 164 ft asl, with a distance of 3,147 ft. This performance was somewhat below expectations, resulting in a final score of 67.7%. While the approach and touchdown phases showed promise, the deviation from the touchdown zone and the slightly long rollout distance detracted from the overall landing quality.
