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 6.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,971 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,971 m of the 3,660 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 322 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Dallas Love Field, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft reached the end of runway 13R, it initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,484-meter stretch of the 2,500-meter runway, which accounted for 59% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots, overcoming the headwind of 9 knots and the crosswind of 6 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile southeast of Dallas Love Field. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,432 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 35,683 feet, an increase of 34,250 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 144 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase followed, which lasted 25 minutes and covered a distance of 645 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles southeast of the Tavaputs Ranch Airport in Sunnyside, Utah. The aircraft descended from 36,012 feet to 5,563 feet, a decrease of 30,448 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 150 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Salt Lake City International Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 16R from the north, aligning itself with the runway at a height of 1,329 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The aircraft landed on the 3,660-meter runway, touching down at a speed of 153 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown distance was 326 meters, and the aircraft rolled out to a stop, aligning itself perfectly with the runway. The total landing distance was 1,901 meters, accounting for 52% of the runway length. After taxiing to the parking area, the aircraft completed its journey, having covered a total distance of 947 nautical miles and consuming 6,558 kilograms of fuel in the process.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 16R at KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport with a score of 97.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 175.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,329 feet above ground level. The final approach was characterized by good quality, with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 155 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was notable for its short touchdown distance of 326 meters, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 153 knots was faster than desired, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -416 feet per minute. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating precise control during the landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18°C and a 7-knot headwind, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,901 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill in maintaining control during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a controlled manner. The slight deviations from the ideal approach speed and touchdown rate did not significantly impact the overall performance, resulting in a high score of 97.6%.
