MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 343 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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 5,117 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,117 ft of the 10,510 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,410 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from San Francisco International Airport, where it rolled out onto runway 28L and began its takeoff run. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 150 kt, clearing the runway threshold after a distance of 4,641 ft, which represented 42% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 65 °F and a gentle headwind of 6 kt.
As the aircraft climbed out of San Francisco, it began its enroute climb, which took it from an initial altitude of 1,021 ft above sea level to a cruising altitude of 34,843 ft. This ascent was achieved in just 16 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nm. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed for a period of 28 minutes, during which it covered a further 214 nm. The flight continued in this manner, with periods of level cruise punctuated by brief descents and ascents, until it began its final approach to Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.
The approach to runway 26L at KLAS was made from the east, with the aircraft descending from a cruising altitude of 4,969 ft to a touchdown height of 3,278 ft. The touchdown point was located 1,059 ft beyond the touchdown zone, but the aircraft's touchdown speed of 134 kt and rate of descent of -97 fpm were both considered good. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft coming to a stop after a total landing distance of 4,866 ft, which represented 46% of the available runway length. The flight then taxied to the parking area, where it was secured after a total flight distance of 476 nm and a fuel consumption of 8,824 lbs.
The Boeing B737-800 touched down on runway 26L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft maintained a steady heading of 270.0° as it descended from 4 nautical miles and 1,151 feet above ground level, ultimately landing on the designated runway. The threshold height was well-managed, and the threshold speed of 144 kt was achieved as expected.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 134 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -97 fpm was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centreline, which may require attention during future landings. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 88°F and a negligible wind of 1 kt at 144°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 4,866 feet, accounting for 46% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 94.5%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
