Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 19 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,016 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 713 ft touchdown sits inside 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 18 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 26L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,593 feet, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 42 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 7 knots at 19 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the tailwind was 2 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead College Park, Georgia. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,032 feet above sea level to 35,982 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,951 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 123 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 5 miles northeast of Altamont, Tennessee. This phase lasted for 31 minutes and covered a distance of 193 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 2 miles west of Barlow, Kentucky. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 35,461 feet above sea level to 1,862 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,599 feet, in 25 minutes and covering a distance of 113 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30R at St. Louis Lambert International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 303.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,322 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 30R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 709 feet and a touchdown speed of 125 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -218 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 13 knots at 309 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 13 knots. The total landing distance was 3,633 feet, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 438 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 98 minutes. The aircraft used 8,944 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KSTL St. Louis Lambert International Airport on runway 30R. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 303.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,322 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 128 knots, registering at 125 knots. This is a relatively minor deviation and did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The touchdown distance of 709 feet was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the aircraft's descent and landing configuration were well-managed.
However, there were some areas for improvement in the landing performance. The touchdown rate of -218 feet per minute was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the final stages of the approach. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°F and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 309°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 13 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position. Despite these challenges, the aircraft's total landing distance of 3,633 feet was within 40% of the available runway length, indicating that the pilot maintained good control and managed the aircraft's energy effectively.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline, which may have resulted in a longer rollout distance. However, this deviation was relatively minor and did not significantly impact the overall safety of the landing. Overall, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft demonstrated a good landing performance, with a score of 95.8%.
