Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 627 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 143 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 152 kt against a target of 143 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 143 kt at the threshold.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 5,972 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,972 ft of the 8,901 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,962 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (KBZN), the Boeing 737-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 12, it was met with a local weather scenario characterized by a temperature of 49 °F, a wind speed of 8 kt at 80 °, resulting in a 6 kt crosswind and a 4 kt headwind. With a liftoff speed of 172 kt, the aircraft successfully departed the runway, utilizing 83% of its 7,456 ft takeoff distance.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of the Monger Airport (9MT8), rising from an initial altitude of 5,349 ft to a cruising altitude of 33,990 ft, an increase of 28,640 ft in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 111 nm. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 2 miles northeast of Dubois, Idaho, and lasted for 85 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 630 nm. As the aircraft approached its destination, it initiated its enroute descent 6 miles south of the Ludlow Airport (5CA4), Barstow, California, descending from 34,001 ft to 1,432 ft in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 115 nm.
The final approach to runway 24R at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) was executed from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 263.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,289 ft above ground level. The landing was completed on the 8,899 ft runway, with a touchdown point 597 ft beyond the touchdown zone. Although the touchdown speed of 147 kt was slightly above the target, the touchdown rate of -224 fpm was considered fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. Following a taxiing period of 13 minutes and covering 2 nm, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 866 nm in 145 minutes and utilizing 13,118 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 24R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport with a score of 98.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 263.0° at 4 nm and 1,289 ft above ground level. The final approach was characterized by good threshold height, allowing the pilots to maintain a stable and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 153 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
The touchdown point was located 597 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 147 kt was a little fast, resulting in a touchdown rate of -224 fpm, which is considered fair. Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 68°F, did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 5,707 ft was 64% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with only minor deviations from the optimal landing parameters. The score of 98.2% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilots during the landing.
