Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.8° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 1.6° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,202 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 127 m 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 03R at MPTO Tocumen International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,037 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 240 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Tocumen, Panama. The climb took 31 minutes and covered a distance of 216 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,108 feet above sea level to 37,713 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,605 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 48 miles northeast of MRBP Barra de Parismina Airport in Costa Rica. This phase lasted for 189 minutes and covered a distance of 2,159 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles east of Prescott, Arizona, in the United States. The descent took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 138 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 38,015 feet above sea level to 4,948 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,067 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 8 miles east of Boulder City, Nevada. This phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 3 miles east of Henderson, Nevada. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 4,945 feet above sea level to 3,367 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,579 feet.
The final approach to runway 26L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 270.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,237 feet above ground level when it began its descent. The landing was made on runway 26L, which had a length of 3,202 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 125 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 127 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 123 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -369 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius.
The total landing distance was 639 meters, which accounted for 20% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then began its taxiing period from the runway to the parking, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,541 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 248 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 14,363 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,237 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's final approach to runway 26L was executed with precision, resulting in a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 125 knots. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach, setting up for a smooth touchdown. The touchdown distance of 127 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed.
However, the touchdown speed of 123 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -369 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 34°C, which may have presented some challenges for the pilot. However, the pilot's skills and experience were able to overcome these conditions, resulting in a successful landing.
The total landing distance of 639 meters was only 20% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Boeing 737-700 aircraft's landing at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing procedure. The pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the landing, and the aircraft's performance was impressive.
