Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,014 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,071 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Nashville International Airport (KBNA) served as the departure point for the B737, where taxiing from the parking area to the runway required 14 minutes and covered 1 nm. The aircraft rolled out on runway 13, taking off after a distance of 4,977 ft, which represented 49 % of the available runway. Liftoff occurred at 152 kt, with local conditions of 76 °F and a 3 kt wind from 139 °, providing a 3 kt headwind and no crosswind. Immediately after departure, the climb phase began overhead KBNA, ascending from 1,443 ft asl to 37,992 ft asl—a gain of 36,549 ft—over 18 minutes while covering 112 nm.
The cruise segment commenced 1 mile southwest of 3TN3 Wayne's World Airport in Dresden, Tennessee, and persisted for 98 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 699 nm. Descent operations began 21 miles west of Cheyenne Wells, Colorado, where the B737 descended from 37,915 ft asl to 6,612 ft asl, a reduction of 31,303 ft over 24 minutes and covering 126 nm. The final approach to runway 17R at Denver International Airport (KDEN) was executed from the north, maintaining a heading of 181.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,222 ft agl. Landing on runway 17R, which measures 12,023 ft, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 134 kt and a touchdown speed of 130 kt. The touchdown distance was 1,076 ft, with a touchdown rate of –288 fpm, and the runway alignment was described as perfect. Local weather at touchdown was 73 °F with a 4 kt wind from 152 °, yielding a 4 kt headwind and a 2 kt crosswind. The total landing distance was 4,373 ft, representing 36 % of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was rated very good.
After touchdown, taxiing back to the parking area required 8 minutes and covered 1 nm. The entire flight covered a total distance of 946 nm over 162 minutes, consuming 12,971 lbs of fuel.
The final approach to runway 17R at KDEN Denver International Airport was executed from the north, maintaining a heading of 181.0° at 4 nm and 1,222 ft AGL. The aircraft approached the threshold with a good height and a threshold speed of 134 kt, indicating a well‑controlled descent profile. The touchdown occurred at a distance of 1,076 ft from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 130 kt and a touchdown rate of –288 fpm, all within acceptable parameters for the aircraft type.
Upon contact, the aircraft achieved a perfect runway touchdown alignment, and the rollout was very good, maintaining centreline alignment throughout the 4,373 ft total landing distance. This distance represented 36 % of the available 12,023 ft runway, demonstrating efficient use of the available surface. The local weather conditions—temperature 73 °F, wind 4 kt at 152°, crosswind 2 kt, and headwind 4 kt—contributed to the stable approach and landing performance.
Overall, the landing was scored at 99.2 %, reflecting the high quality of the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The aircraft maintained optimal speed and height parameters, achieved precise alignment, and completed the landing within a safe and efficient portion of the runway, resulting in a near‑perfect performance assessment.
