Flight Score
Departure
Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.
What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.4 g, a high value for that phase.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed is back to 127 kt before the gate, not after it.
What happened: Speed control was already loose at the stabilisation gate, and this flight crossed the threshold at 133 kt against a target of 127 kt, 6 kt fast. Carrying excess speed into the gate like this usually carries straight through to a fast threshold crossing.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 127 kt by the gate and held to 127 kt at the threshold.
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 and speed 71 kt FAST on the reference speed of 127 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 41 kt FAST on the reference speed of 127 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,621 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 322 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, the Boeing 737-700 began its takeoff roll on runway 02R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 160 kt in 1,191 meters, which was 38% of the runway's length. The aircraft then climbed away from the airport, overcoming a crosswind of 7 kt and a tailwind of 2 kt, with a temperature of 26 °C and a wind direction of 123 °.
As the aircraft continued its enroute climb, it reached a cruising altitude of 9,205 ft asl, having ascended 8,086 ft in just 2 minutes and covering 12 nm. The climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 5 minutes and covering 34 nm, before the aircraft began its descent towards Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport. The descent phase saw the aircraft lose 8,570 ft in 6 minutes, covering 33 nm, before entering the final approach phase to runway 07C at Hong Kong International Airport.
The final approach was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 71.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,354 ft agl. The landing was completed on runway 07C, which was 3,452 meters long, with a touchdown distance of 448 meters, or 36% of the runway's length. Although the touchdown speed of 127 kt was slightly above target, the touchdown rate of -471 fpm was hard. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 1 minute to cover less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 85 nm, with a flight time of 17 minutes and a fuel consumption of 6,343 kg.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 07C at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport, with a slightly fast touchdown speed of 127 kt. The aircraft's descent was characterized by a hard touchdown rate of -471 fpm, which was a deviation from the desired rate. The touchdown distance of 448 m was within acceptable limits, however, indicating a well-executed flare. The threshold height at 71 ft agl was significantly above the target, while the threshold speed of 135 kt was also above the desired value.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.1 m, which may have been a result of the crosswind conditions. The local weather at the time of landing was calm, with a temperature of 27 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt. The aircraft's total landing distance of 1,256 m was 36% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned from the centreline by 31.2 m, which may have been a result of the pilot's response to the crosswind.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 79.1%. While there were some deviations from the desired touchdown speed and rate, the aircraft's touchdown distance and total landing distance were within acceptable limits. The approach quality was good, with a heading of 71.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,354 ft agl. However, the misalignment during the rollout phase was a notable deviation from the desired performance.
