Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 176 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 156 kt against a target of 176 kt, running 20 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 176 kt.
Arrival
Hold a little more back pressure through the last of the flare to arrest the sink before 280 fpm develops.
What happened: Touchdown sink rate was 280 fpm, a firm arrival with no other fault on this landing to account for it.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: minimal sink at touchdown
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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 7,580 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,217 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KBOI Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field, the Boeing 737-700 began its journey with a taxiing period of 9 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. As it reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 10L, utilizing 5,617 feet of the available runway, which accounted for 56% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 146 knots, with a local temperature of 69°F and a wind of 10 knots at 39 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of KBOI, it reached an altitude of 37,994 feet, an increase of 34,125 feet from its initial altitude of 3,869 feet. This climb phase lasted 18 minutes and covered a distance of 108 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles south of KREO Rome State Airport and lasted 69 minutes, covering a distance of 520 nautical miles. The aircraft made several level cruise phases throughout its journey, with the final one lasting 4 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles. The descent phase began overhead Burbank, California, where the aircraft descended from 37,995 feet to 6,370 feet, a decrease of 31,626 feet in 16 minutes and covering 104 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at KSAN San Diego International Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 286.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,499 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,216 feet and a touchdown speed of 130 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -224 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centreline. The total landing distance was 2,948 feet, accounting for 43% of the available runway. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 768 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 126 minutes and a fuel consumption of 10,259 pounds.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 27 at KSAN San Diego International Airport with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 137 kt. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, resulting in a touchdown distance of 1,216 ft, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 130 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -224 fpm was fair, indicating a controlled impact.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway, but the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 ft from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 64 °F and a 6 kt headwind from 200 °, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The total landing distance of 2,948 ft, which accounted for 43% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centre, deviating by 32 ft from the centreline. Despite this minor deviation, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, earning a score of 95.8%. The crew's ability to maintain control and navigate the aircraft safely to the runway was commendable, and the landing was considered a success.
