Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 144 kt, then rotate and let the speed build to 184 kt.
What happened: You started the rotation at 119 kt, 25 kt before the 144 kt rotation speed, and the climb stayed slow at 154 kt against a target of 184 kt. Rotating early usually carries a slow climb with it.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 144 kt at rotation, 184 kt in the climb
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 295 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 295 fpm next time
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,045 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 396 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-900 taxied from the parking area to runway 01 at KJAC Jackson Hole Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 01, the aircraft accelerated to a takeoff distance of 1,347 m, representing 70 % of the runway, and rotated at 119 kt. Local weather at the time was Temperature 4 °C, Wind 2 kt at 90 °, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
Climb commenced 1 mile north of KJAC, with the airplane ascending from 7,442 ft asl to 37,911 ft asl, an increase of 30,469 ft achieved in 26 minutes while covering 196 nm.
The first level cruise began 4 miles south of WY23 Iberlin Strip Sussex and lasted 96 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 887 nm.
Descent started 3 miles north of IN29 Durflinger Airport Otterbein, descending from 37,947 ft asl to 4,424 ft asl, a decrease of 33,523 ft completed in 19 minutes over 142 nm.
A second cruise segment was initiated overhead I67 Cincinnati West Harrison, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
The subsequent descent began overhead Dent, Ohio, dropping from 3,700 ft asl to 2,186 ft asl, a loss of 1,514 ft in 1 minutes while traveling 5 nm.
Final approach to runway 18L at KCVG Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport involved a descent from 1,324 ft agl to 30 ft agl in 94 seconds.
Landing on runway 18L was executed on a runway 3,045 m long; the threshold speed was 136 kt, touchdown occurred at 396 m from the threshold with a speed of 128 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was -295 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Local weather reported Temperature 27 °C, Wind 4 kt at 230 °, with a 3 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
The total landing distance recorded was 933 m, representing 31 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,244nm, took 150 minutes, and consumed 7,190 kg of fuel.
