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 4.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 140 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 393 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,849 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,849 m of the 2,925 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 697 m 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 17 at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The takeoff distance was 1,011 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of -2°C and winds of 17 knots at 129°. The crosswind was 11 knots, and the headwind was 13 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of KMSP, where the aircraft climbed from 1,873 feet above sea level to 17,952 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,079 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles northwest of Somerset, Wisconsin, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 3 miles north of Danielson Field Airport in Star Prairie, Wisconsin, where it climbed from 18,003 feet above sea level to 36,869 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,865 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile northwest of John's Field in Athens, Wisconsin, and lasted for 72 minutes, covering a distance of 599 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 4 miles east of Camden East/Varty Lake Airport in Camden East, Ontario, Canada, where it descended from 37,036 feet above sea level to 9,080 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,956 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec, Canada, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent 2 miles northwest of Kirkland, Quebec, Canada, where it descended from 8,667 feet above sea level to 3,992 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,675 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south of Terrebonne, Quebec, Canada, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 1 mile northeast of Saint-Leonard, Quebec, Canada, where it descended from 3,007 feet above sea level to 1,430 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,577 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24L at Montreal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (CYUL) was made from the northeast, heading 223.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,318 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 24L was successful, with a touchdown point 283 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -318 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.7 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,771 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -21°C and winds of 7 knots at 280°.
The taxiing period from the runway to the
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (CYUL) on runway 24L. The final approach was initiated from the northeast, heading 223.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,318 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft scored an overall grade of 80.9%.
Upon landing, the threshold height was found to be well above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach path. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 137 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a stable approach speed. The touchdown point was located 283 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been due to a slightly fast touchdown speed of 132 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -318 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was found to be misaligned by 11.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a miscalculation of the aircraft's position. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -21°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 280°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,771 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance, but may have left some margin for error. The runway rollout alignment was found to be slightly misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's trajectory during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal approach and landing parameters. The pilots demonstrated good control and stability during the approach and landing phases, but may need to work on refining their technique to achieve a more precise touchdown and rollout.
