Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,948 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,948 ft of the 9,778 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,103 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 03L at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,821 feet, which is 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 74°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport. The climb took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 29 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,650 feet above sea level to 26,034 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,384 feet.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south of M84 Erie Aerodrome in Erie, Michigan, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time overhead 6OH5 Connor Heliport in Powell, Ohio. The climb took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 57 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 27,189 feet above sea level to 35,829 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,640 feet.
The enroute level cruise then started 2 miles northwest of New Knoxville, Ohio, and lasted for 81 minutes, covering a distance of 599 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles east of Beauregard, Mississippi. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 103 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 35,941 feet above sea level to 2,027 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,914 feet.
The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile south of 1L0 St John The Baptist Parish Reserve in Louisiana, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 11 at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, approaching from the west at a heading of 106.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,196 feet above ground level at this point.
The landing on runway 11 at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport was successful, with the touchdown point being 770 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 145 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -202 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 84°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 0°.
The total landing distance was 5,715 feet, which is 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 832 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 144 minutes. The aircraft used 13,215 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, achieving a score of 93.4%. The final approach to runway 11 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 106.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,196 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 770 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the target area. The touchdown speed of 145 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force to bring the aircraft to a stop. However, the touchdown rate of -202 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot was able to manage the descent effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 84°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 0°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was even weaker at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a consistent and accurate course during the final approach. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the braking phase.
The total landing distance of 5,715 feet was 58% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the final approach and touchdown phases.
