MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 0 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 5.3 ft, 6 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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 9,020 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,346 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at San Diego International Airport (KSAN) took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Boeing B737-800 then began its departure roll on runway 27, utilizing 3,205 feet, or 42% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 155 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 74°F, with a 5-knot headwind from a direction of 285°.
As the aircraft climbed away from San Diego, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of the airport, ascending from 1,046 feet above sea level to 36,999 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 142 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a prolonged enroute level cruise, which started 6 miles northwest of Los Algodones, Mexico, and lasted for 237 minutes, covering a distance of 2,035 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 2 miles east of Green Island, New York, descending from 36,998 feet to 1,671 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles. A brief level cruise phase followed, lasting only 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at Logan International Airport (KBOS) was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 200.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,302 feet above ground level. The landing was executed successfully, with a touchdown distance of 1,346 feet, or 41% of the runway's length, and a touchdown speed of 132 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 feet from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 3,720 feet, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,316 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 293 minutes and a fuel consumption of 26,229 pounds.
The Boeing B737-800 touched down on runway 22L at KBOS Logan International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, characterized by a stable and controlled descent. The aircraft was established on the final approach from the north, heading 200.0° at 4 nm and 1,302 ft above ground level. The crew maintained a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition to the runway. The threshold speed of 139 kt was also within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited good characteristics, with a touchdown speed of 132 kt and a touchdown rate of -185 fpm. The touchdown distance of 1,346 ft was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the crew's ability to control the aircraft's descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 ft from the centreline, which may be attributed to a minor deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 67°F and a light headwind of 1 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the crew successfully correcting the minor deviation from the centreline. The total landing distance of 3,720 ft, which accounted for 41% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 98.7% reflecting the crew's proficiency and the aircraft's performance.
