Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 517 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink is fully arrested before the wheels meet the runway.
What happened: Landing g force ran high at 1.1 g through the flare, and the touchdown followed through firm at 1.1 g.
Watch for: Watch the g meter at touchdown against the normal touchdown rate band.
Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,009 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 871 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 07L at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in 13 minutes, covering 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 07L, the aircraft used 6,710 ft of runway, representing 65 % of the available length, and rotated at 153 kt; ambient temperature was 91 °F with wind 5 kt from 116°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind.
The initial climb began 1 mile east of KPHX, climbing from 2,028 ft asl to 34,001 ft asl, an altitude gain of 31,973 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 115 nm.
Level cruise commenced 7 nm east of AZ06 Dateland Airfield and continued for 77 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 531 nm.
A subsequent climb segment started at latitude 30.3116684, longitude -122.8957825, rising from 33,922 ft asl to 36,002 ft asl, a gain of 2,079 ft in 3 minutes over 24 nm.
The next cruise phase began at latitude 30.2030373, longitude -123.3599777 and lasted 159 minutes, covering 1,190 nm.
A further climb was logged at latitude 23.6613121, longitude -144.4069672, increasing altitude from 36,114 ft asl to 37,929 ft asl, a rise of 1,815 ft in 2 minutes across 12 nm.
Following that, level cruise started at latitude 23.572464, longitude -144.6241455 and persisted for 73 minutes, during which 578 nm were flown.
Descent began 60 nm north-east of Honomu, dropping from 38,004 ft asl to 1,291 ft asl, a loss of 36,713 ft in 26 minutes while covering 150 nm.
On final approach to runway 02 at PHOG Kahului International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,292 ft agl to 36 ft agl in 105 seconds and met the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing on runway 02 was executed with a threshold speed of 143 kt; touchdown occurred 870 ft down the runway at 138 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 203 fpm and a lateral deviation of 16 ft from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 89 °F, wind 9 kt from 46°, a 2 kt cross-wind and an 8 kt head-wind. Total landing distance measured 4,031 ft, equivalent to 58 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout alignment was assessed as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 2,608 nm, lasted 376 minutes, and consumed 36,486 lbs of fuel.
