Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 124 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 140 kt, 16 kt past the 124 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 124 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 23 ft, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 20 ft.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,351 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 978 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The Boeing 737-700 then began its departure roll on runway 28L, utilizing 3,740 feet, or 34% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 152 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 67°F, with a 14-knot wind blowing from 210°, resulting in a 14-knot crosswind and a 1-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of KSFO, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 942 feet above sea level to 39,002 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 126 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which began approximately 4 miles north of Sierra Village, California, and lasted for 122 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 1,046 nautical miles. The cruise phase was punctuated by several brief level segments, including a 5-minute cruise over Lincoln Park, Texas, and a 3-minute cruise north of Coppell, Texas. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles northwest of Davidson, Oklahoma, and continued until it reached 3,845 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,155 feet in 25 minutes, covering 149 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13L at Dallas Love Field (KDAL) was initiated from the northwest, with the aircraft descending from 3,229 feet above sea level to 2,749 feet in 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off for a brief period before beginning its final descent. The landing was executed on runway 13L, which is 7,351 feet in length, with a touchdown distance of 967 feet, or 37% of the runway. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 118 knots, with a smooth touchdown rate of -103 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, being 25 feet off the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,351 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 198 minutes and a fuel consumption of 14,645 pounds.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 13L at KDAL Dallas Love Field with a smooth touchdown rate of -103 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold height was good, allowing the aircraft to maintain a safe margin above the runway surface. The threshold speed of 125 kt was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the approach.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown speed of 118 kt was good, and the touchdown distance of 967 ft was within the expected range. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating from the centreline by 25 ft. Despite this, the pilot maintained control and executed a smooth rollout, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a very good alignment with the runway centreline. The total landing distance of 2,739 ft, which accounted for 37% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits.
The overall performance of the landing was impressive, with a score of 97.6% reflecting the high degree of skill and precision displayed by the pilot. The approach quality was good, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and controlled descent throughout the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 79 °F and a wind of 14 kt at 230 °, presented a moderate challenge, but the pilot successfully navigated the aircraft to a safe and controlled touchdown.
