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 34 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,637 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 818 ft 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 737-700, then departed from runway 19R at Tampa International Airport (KTPA) in Tampa, Florida. The takeoff distance was 3,183 feet, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 93°F and winds of 4 knots at 250°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. After departing from KTPA, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and reached an altitude of 22,315 feet above sea level (asl) in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,191 feet asl to the higher altitude.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 5 miles northeast of The Meadows, Florida, and lasted for 10 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 66 nautical miles. The cruise was followed by a descent, which began 4 miles south of Fort Myers Beach, Florida. The descent was from an altitude of 23,122 feet asl to 14,139 feet asl, a decrease of 8,983 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 11 miles north of Everglades City, Florida, and lasted for 9 minutes. However, this cruise covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 11 miles north of Everglades City. The descent was from an altitude of 14,139 feet asl to 1,306 feet asl, a decrease of 12,833 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 53 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at Miami International Airport (KMIA) was from the west, with a heading of 87.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was on runway 09, which had a length of 11,637 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 136 knots. The touchdown point was 655 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -488 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 94°F and winds of 3 knots at 0°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 4,777 feet, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 198 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 58 minutes. The aircraft used 4,997 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 09, achieving a score of 95.2%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 136 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed. The touchdown point was located 655 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -488 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, indicating a relatively abrupt touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 94°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 0°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance of 4,777 feet was 41% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled rollout.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a high score of 95.2%. However, there were some minor deviations in the touchdown speed and position, which may be addressed in future training exercises to improve the aircraft's performance and safety.
