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 23 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 143 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 150 kt, 7 kt above 143 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 143 kt at the threshold.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 6,411 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,411 ft of the 12,014 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,300 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Portland International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 28R, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 5,376-foot runway, which represented 67% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots, marking the beginning of its ascent.
As the aircraft climbed away from KPDX, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 996 feet above sea level to 36,878 feet, a vertical gain of 35,882 feet, over a distance of 147 nautical miles, in 22 minutes. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 36,878 feet for 29 minutes, covering a distance of 645 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced 10 miles northwest of Walden-Jackson County Airport, where the aircraft descended from 36,996 feet to 6,679 feet, a decrease of 30,317 feet, over a distance of 111 nautical miles, in 20 minutes.
Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft began its descent towards runway 17R at Denver International Airport, aligning itself with the runway from the north. The aircraft touched down 944 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 143 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was excellent at -91 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 913 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 1 hour and 31 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 12,571 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 17R at KDEN Denver International Airport with a score of 90.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, aligning with the heading of 181.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level. The final approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 64 feet above ground level, slightly above the target. The threshold speed of 151 knots was also marginally above the target, indicating a slight increase in power application during the approach.
The touchdown point was located 944 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 143 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate of -91 feet per minute was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a headwind of 7 knots at 170°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 6,155 feet was 51% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 90.4%, reflecting a high degree of proficiency and control during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
