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 7.7°, 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 6,308 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,308 ft of the 12,039 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,242 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 13 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA), where the Boeing 737-800 took off with a takeoff distance of 3,655 feet, which is 52% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 45°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 30°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 0-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of Corona, New York, and ascended from an initial altitude of 1,159 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 34,207 feet, an increase of 33,048 feet in just 18 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began overhead Pottsville, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 187 minutes, covering a distance of 1,189 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent 7 miles southwest of Holyoke, Colorado, and descended from 34,108 feet to 11,221 feet, a decrease of 22,886 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered another level cruise, this time starting 4 miles south of the Yocam Ranch Airport (7CO5) in Colorado, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The final descent began 3 miles east of the Kugel-Strong Airport (03CO) in Platteville, Colorado, and the aircraft descended from 11,017 feet to 6,678 feet, a decrease of 4,339 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 17R at Denver International Airport (KDEN), heading 181.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,276 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 17R was successful, with the aircraft touching down 868 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above target at 143 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -108 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 63°F.
The total landing distance was 6,034 feet, which is 50% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 10 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,426 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 248 minutes, with a total fuel consumption of 22,813 pounds.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Denver International Airport (KDEN) on runway 17R. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 181.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course throughout the approach, adhering to the standard procedures for landing.
Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft touched down 868 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone. Although the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly above the target, the touchdown rate of -108 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, signifying that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a threshold height above the target and a threshold speed slightly above the target at 143 knots. The total landing distance of 6,034 feet was 50% of the runway length, which is a relatively normal distance for a Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, with a score of 94.8%. The slight deviations from the target touchdown speed and threshold height did not significantly impact the overall performance of the aircraft.
