MY FS FLIGHTS
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
Hold the aim point and wait for 45 ft before starting the flare, then keep the back pressure coming through the hold-off.
What happened: The flare began at 79 ft, 34 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown came in hard at 1.1 g.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare for the normal flare band
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 13,490 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,098 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 04R at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport in 9 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 04R, the Boeing 737-700 used 3,818 ft of runway, representing 64 % of the available length, and lifted off at 153 kt; ambient temperature was 72 °F with wind 1 kt from 342°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead West Elsdon, Illinois, with the airplane ascending from 1,574 ft asl to 37,423 ft asl, a gain of 35,849 ft achieved in 15 minutes while covering 94 nm.
The first cruise segment began 1 mile north-west of the Cady Aerial Restricted Landing Area (0IS3) and continued for 80 minutes, during which 551 nm were flown.
Descent started 4 miles north of Brewster, Kansas, with altitude decreasing from 38,000 ft asl to 28,002 ft asl, a loss of 9,998 ft in 5 minutes over 38 nm.
A brief cruise followed 3 miles east of KITR Kit Carson County Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 12 nm.
The next descent began 7 miles south of CO22 Hildebrandt Airport, Bethune, dropping from 27,994 ft asl to 14,011 ft asl, a reduction of 13,983 ft in 12 minutes while traversing 78 nm.
A short cruise segment then started 4 miles west of 23CO High Mesa Airport, Rush, lasting 5 minutes and covering 26 nm.
Descent resumed 2 miles south-west of KFLY Meadow Lake, Colorado Springs, with the aircraft descending from 13,475 ft asl to 8,524 ft asl, a loss of 4,951 ft in 5 minutes over 18 nm.
The final cruise phase originated overhead KFCS Butts AAF (Fort Carson) and lasted 8 minutes, during which 22 nm were flown.
For the final approach to runway 35R at KCOS City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport, the aircraft approached from the south on a heading of 0.0°, at 4 nm and 1,129 ft agl.
Landing on runway 35R, which is 13,490 ft long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 133 kt; touchdown occurred 1,104 ft down the runway at 131 kt and a descent rate of minus 187 fpm, with perfect alignment; local weather reported a temperature of 64 °F, wind 1 kt from 273°, a 1 kt cross-wind and no head-wind. Total landing distance was 3,791 ft, representing 28 % of the runway.
Runway rollout proceeded without deviation, maintaining perfect alignment throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 9 minutes, covering 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 847 nm, required 150 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 12,009 lb of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 completed the final approach to runway 35R at KCOS from the south, on a heading of 0.0° at 4 nm and 1,129 ft AGL. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the aircraft was configured for landing under clear weather with a temperature of 64 °F, wind 1 kt from 273°, cross-wind 1 kt and head-wind 0 kt.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 133 kt, confirming the aircraft was correctly positioned and speed-controlled for the flare.
Touchdown occurred 1,104 ft down the runway at a speed of 131 kt, both described as good, with a vertical rate of minus 187 fpm also rated good, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 3,791 ft, representing 28 % of the 13,490 ft runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 99.3 % the landing was excellent; maintaining the current flare technique will keep touchdown distances consistently near the aim point and preserve the smooth, on-target performance.
