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 5.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 85 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 85 ft, 40 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
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 5,787 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,787 ft of the 7,940 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,957 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 04 at KHOU William P Hobby Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,912 feet, which was 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 165 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 83°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 110°.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began to ascend from 1,036 feet above sea level to 33,223 feet, an increase of 32,187 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 162 nautical miles. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of South Houston, Texas, and continued until the aircraft reached its initial cruising altitude. The local weather conditions remained relatively stable throughout this period.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 21 minutes and covered a distance of 159 nautical miles. During this phase, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and airspeed, allowing it to conserve fuel and maintain a smooth flight path. The level cruise phase started at a latitude of 27.8829887 and a longitude of -92.9124159.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began another climb phase, which started at a latitude of 25.8832791 and a longitude of -90.9207554. The aircraft climbed from 33,442 feet above sea level to 35,176 feet, an increase of 1,733 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. This climb phase was followed by another level cruise phase, which lasted 27 minutes and covered a distance of 214 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began a descent phase, which started at a latitude of 23.3162955 and a longitude of -87.535796. The aircraft descended from 34,569 feet above sea level to 33,181 feet, a decrease of 1,387 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. This descent phase was followed by another level cruise phase, which lasted 57 minutes and covered a distance of 461 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began another descent phase, which started 24 miles northeast of MWCB Charles Kirkconnell International Airport West End on Sister Island, Cayman Islands. The aircraft descended from 33,045 feet above sea level to 3,043 feet, a decrease of 30,003 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began a climb phase, which started 2 miles southwest of Sandy Bay, Parish of Hanover, Jamaica. The aircraft climbed from 2,993 feet above sea level to 4,096 feet, an increase of 1,103 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This climb phase was followed by a descent phase, which started 4 miles south of Lucea, Parish of Hanover, Jamaica. The aircraft descended from 4,050 feet above sea level to 1,811 feet, a decrease of 2,239 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb phase, which started 2 miles southeast of Lucea, Parish of Hanover, Jamaica. The aircraft climbed from 1,820 feet above sea level to 2,598 feet, an increase of 779 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This climb phase was followed by a
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at MKJS Sangster International Airport, achieving a score of 97.0%. The final approach to runway 07 was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 65.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,290 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 154 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing conditions. The touchdown point was located 599 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance.
The touchdown speed of 150 kt was a bit faster than the ideal speed, resulting in a touchdown rate of -284 feet per minute, which is considered fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing process.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 80°F and a wind speed of 8 kt at 80°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 8 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing process.
The total landing distance of 5,529 feet was 70% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout process.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 97.0%. However, there were some minor deviations from the optimal landing conditions, including a slightly above-target threshold speed and a touchdown speed that was a bit faster than ideal.
