Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 56 ft.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 56 ft, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for 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 6,001 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,001 ft of the 8,394 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,746 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 23 at KBUF Buffalo Niagara International Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,720 feet, which accounted for 76% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 70°F and winds of 6 knots at 196°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Cheektowaga, New York, and the aircraft climbed from 1,697 feet above sea level to 35,767 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,070 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 129 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 4 miles southwest of the Rodney Airport in Ontario, Canada, and lasted for 210 minutes, covering a distance of 1,472 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent from 36,154 feet above sea level to 15,938 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,216 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 71 nautical miles. This descent started 3 miles south of Cane Beds, Arizona.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time starting 11 miles northeast of the Echo Bay Overton Airport in Nevada, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles. The descent from 15,461 feet above sea level to 9,105 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,356 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 43 nautical miles, started 9 miles northeast of Boulder City, Nevada.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 7 miles south of the Jean Airport in Nevada, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The descent from 9,037 feet above sea level to 3,638 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,398 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles, started 2 miles south of the Jean Airport.
The final approach to runway 01L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport from the south, heading 25.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,510 feet above ground level, was executed. The landing on runway 01L, which had a length of 8,394 feet, was successful. The threshold height at 71 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots.
The touchdown point was 1,375 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed at 132 knots was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -193 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 97°F and winds of 2 knots at 39°.
The total landing distance was 5,730 feet, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,775 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 289 minutes. The aircraft used 27,527 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, achieving a score of 90.8%. The final approach to runway 01L was initiated from the south, with a heading of 25.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,510 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 1,375 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the target area. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force to bring the aircraft to a stop. However, the touchdown rate of -193 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a high temperature of 97°F and a light wind of 2 knots from a direction of 39°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 5,730 feet was 68% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the final approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and distance from the touchdown zone.
