Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 59 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 59 ft, 14 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 279 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
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 7,168 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 7,168 ft of the 11,316 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,369 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 07 at MKJS Sangster International Airport, where the aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, took off with a takeoff distance of 3,930 ft, which was 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 kt. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 90 °F, with a wind speed of 6 kt at 50 °, resulting in a 2 kt crosswind and a 6 kt headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of MKJS Sangster International Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north east of the airport, rising from an initial altitude of 1,096 ft asl to a cruising altitude of 36,081 ft asl, an increase of 34,985 ft in just 24 minutes, covering a distance of 168 nm. The enroute level cruise started 44 miles north of MWCL Edward Bodden Little Cayman Airfield, where the aircraft maintained its cruising altitude for 31 minutes, covering a distance of 217 nm.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 43 miles north of Varadero, Cuba, descending from 36,123 ft asl to 1,289 ft asl, a decrease of 34,834 ft in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nm. The final approach to runway 09 at KMIA Miami International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 87.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,270 ft agl.
The landing on runway 09 at KMIA Miami International Airport was executed with a runway length of 11,316 ft. The threshold height at 59 ft agl was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above target at 147 kt. The touchdown point was 2,001 ft beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 139 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -302 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 88 °F, with a wind speed of 4 kt at 130 °, resulting in a 2 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind. The total landing distance was 6,900 ft, which was 61% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nm.
The total flight distance was 515 nm, which was completed in 90 minutes, and the aircraft used 8,961 lbs of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 09. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 88.6%.
The aircraft's approach to the runway was satisfactory, with the threshold height being slightly above the target at 59 feet agl. The threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 147 knots. The touchdown point was 2,001 feet beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly down the runway. The touchdown speed of 139 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -302 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 130°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 6,900 feet was 61% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for safe braking and rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft performed well during the landing at KMIA, with a score of 88.6%. The slight deviations from the target threshold height and speed were minor, and the aircraft's touchdown point and touchdown rate were satisfactory. The favorable weather conditions and smooth rollout alignment further contributed to a successful landing.
