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 9.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,466 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,466 ft of the 7,028 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,279 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 35L at the Orlando International Airport (KMCO). The takeoff distance was 3,732 feet, which was 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 69°F and winds of 4 knots at 30°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of the Orlando International Airport. The climb took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 146 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,162 feet above sea level to 35,139 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,976 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile southeast of the High Point Airport (GA46) in St Mary's, Georgia. This cruise phase lasted 69 minutes and covered a distance of 529 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northwest of the Deale Airport (MD22) in Deale, Maryland. The descent took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 130 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 35,289 feet above sea level to 7,218 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,071 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting overhead Blawenburg, New Jersey. This cruise phase lasted 18 minutes and covered a distance of 40 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Garfield, New Jersey. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 3,198 feet above sea level to 1,275 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,923 feet.
The final approach to runway 22L at the Newark Liberty International Airport (KEWR) was made from the northeast, with a heading of 206.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,250 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 22L, which had a length of 7,028 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 knots. The touchdown point was 926 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 139 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -250 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 5,212 feet, which was 74% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 11 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 862 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 161 minutes. The aircraft used 14,407 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Newark Liberty International Airport (KEWR) on runway 22L, achieving a score of 94.8%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 206.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,250 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 148 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed. The touchdown point was located 926 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be attributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed of 139 kt. The touchdown rate of -250 fpm was considered fair, suggesting a moderate rate of descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centerline, which may have been caused by factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 37°F, with a wind speed of 3 kt from 240°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 2 kt each.
The total landing distance of 5,212 feet was 74% of the available runway length of 7,028 feet, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the optimal landing parameters.
