Flight Score
Arrival
Use small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout, keeping the wings level with gentle aileron.
What happened: The aircraft rolled out on landing with 3.2° of bank angle.
Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator and hold the wings level through the rollout.
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 1,000 ft gate: gear still up, sink rate 1,091 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and centreline 8.3° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 1,663 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,083 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,083 ft of the 8,599 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,435 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 25 at KSBA Santa Barbara Municipal Airport, a movement that lasted 12 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 25, achieving a takeoff distance of 4,790 ft (79 % of the runway). Liftoff occurred at 150 kt. Ambient temperature was 87 °F with a wind from 265° at 3 kt, providing a 3-kt headwind and zero crosswind.
Climb began approximately 1 mile northwest of Isla Vista, with the airplane accelerating from 996 ft above sea level to 35,003 ft, an altitude gain of 34,007 ft achieved in 16 minutes while covering 110 nm.
Level cruise was established 8 miles southwest of Avenal and persisted for 15 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 113 nm.
The first en-route descent commenced 2 miles west of Bonanza Hills Airport (34CN), descending from 34,988 ft to 20,986 ft, a loss of 14,001 ft in 5 minutes over a distance of 32 nm.
A brief cruise segment followed 4 miles northeast of Winton, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nm.
A subsequent descent began 4 miles northwest of Bonanza Hills Airport, dropping from 20,997 ft to 1,359 ft, a reduction of 19,638 ft accomplished in 15 minutes across 74 nm.
The final cruise leg originated 2 miles west of Parkway, extending for 9 minutes and encompassing 23 nm.
Final approach to runway 35L at KSMF Sacramento International Airport involved a descent from 1,252 ft agl to 42 ft agl in 96 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
The Boeing 737-800 landed on runway 35L, whose total length is 8,599 ft; the threshold speed was 145 kt and touchdown occurred at 1,435 ft from the threshold with a speed of 143 kt, a touchdown rate of minus 124 fpm, and very good alignment. Local temperature was 86 °F with a wind from 328° at 2 kt, providing a 1-kt headwind and 1-kt crosswind. Total landing distance measured 4,831 ft, representing 56 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 370 nm, required 74 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 7,781 lb of fuel.
