Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 3°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 143 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 154 kt, 11 kt above the 143 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 143 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Rotated at 159 kt, on the 161 kt target, and lifted off at 173 kt 5.9 s later, the nose coming up at 1.7° a second. Climb 3 averaged 181 kt, 17 kt under its 198 kt target.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 873 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 733 m of runway left; gear up at 360 ft, inside the 807 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,990 fpm on average to 873 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 3,211 m runway.
Rolled from 100 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 5.1 m at the widest, and lifted off 4.2 m right. Airborne 65 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
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.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 4 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 90 ft below the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 20× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 19 m off the centreline.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 37 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 22 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band all the way, between +6 kt and +12 kt on the approach speed of 147 kt.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Perfect landing flare
Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 1° left of the track, wings level.
Wind 173° at 19 kt · 19 kt head · 2 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 35 ft, 15 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 12 ft. Touched down 263 m in, close to the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 730 fpm at the flare to 180 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.2° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,985 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3.2 m left of the centreline and drifted to 7.3 m left on the rollout, back to 1.7 m left by the end.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
The 263 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report

Final approach to runway 17L at KOKC began with a descent from 1,382 ft agl to 78 ft agl in 100 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. Configuration on final was flaps fully retracted at 5,583 ft agl, 300 kt.
Landing on runway 17L, which is 2,985 m long, occurred with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 154 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown distance was 263 m; touchdown speed was 154 kt, noted as a little fast. Touchdown rate was -185 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.3 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was 23 °C with wind 7 kt from 134°, giving a 5 kt crosswind and a 5 kt headwind. No bounce occurred. Total landing roll was 1,437 m, 48 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to parking for 10 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The flight covered a total of 1,164 nm in 191 minutes and used 23,723 kg of fuel.
