Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 3.6°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,980 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 327 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 08R at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 1,342 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and winds of 9 knots at 70 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile south east of Miami Springs, Florida, and involved a significant ascent from 1,025 feet above sea level to 34,565 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,540 feet in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 12 miles south east of Chokoloskee, Florida, and lasted for 74 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 501 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 3 miles south west of Port Sulphur Airport (KPOS) in Louisiana and involved a descent from 34,355 feet above sea level to 1,219 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,136 feet in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 11 at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (KMSY) from the west, heading 106.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,205 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 11, which had a length of 2,980 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 135 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 328 meters, but the touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate was firm at -355 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 17 degrees Celsius and winds of 9 knots at 140 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 609 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 129 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,373 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 106.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,205 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's final approach to runway 11 was executed with precision, achieving a score of 98.1%. The aircraft's speed and altitude were well-managed, with a threshold speed of 135 knots and a good threshold height. The touchdown distance of 328 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
However, there was a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown speed, which was recorded at 132 knots. This was slightly faster than the recommended speed, but it did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown rate of -355 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled and stable descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 140°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot, and the aircraft's performance was not affected.
The total landing distance of 1,438 meters was 48% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's speed and descent rate. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft's landing at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's performance was well within acceptable limits, and the landing was executed with precision and control.
