Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 12 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 77 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 77 ft, 32 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 461 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 24 kt FAST on the reference speed of 147 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,033 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 278 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Dallas Love Field, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 13R, it was met with a local weather scenario characterized by a temperature of 32 °C, wind speeds of 18 kt at 169°, and a crosswind of 10 kt and a headwind of 15 kt.
As the aircraft departed, it climbed from 1,527 ft above sea level to 26,592 ft, an increase of 25,066 ft in just 16 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent. The descent phase was characterized by a series of level cruises, each lasting around 2 minutes, interspersed with periods of descent. The aircraft descended from 26,626 ft to 14,527 ft in 8 minutes, covering 55 nautical miles, and then from 14,502 ft to 6,583 ft in 8 minutes, covering 41 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, William P Hobby Airport, it began its final approach to runway 13R from the north-west, heading 134.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,276 ft above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 271 meters and a touchdown speed of 152 kt, although slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed. The aircraft used 2,852 kg of fuel for the entire flight, covering a total distance of 264 nautical miles in 56 minutes. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the total landing distance was 1,278 meters, 64% of the runway length.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 13R at KHOU William P Hobby Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,276 ft agl at a distance of 4 nm from the runway threshold, aligning itself with the runway centerline at a heading of 134.0°. The threshold height was good, allowing the pilots to maintain a stable approach path.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown speed of 152 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown distance of 271 m was within acceptable limits. The firm touchdown rate of -367 fpm indicated a controlled descent, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The pilots' control of the aircraft during the touchdown phase was evident in the smooth and stable rollout that followed.
The total landing distance of 1,278 m was 64% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway throughout the rollout phase. The overall score for this landing was 98.2%, reflecting the pilots' skill and control during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and a headwind of 12 kt, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
