Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 30 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 144 kt well before the gate.
What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 174 kt against the 144 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 2,518 ft against the 1,500 ft target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 144 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: speed 82 kt FAST on the reference speed of 144 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 62 kt FAST on the reference speed of 144 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,880 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,880 ft of the 11,515 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,518 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 22R at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport in 12 minutes, covering a ground distance of 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 22R, the aircraft accelerated for a takeoff distance of 1,245 m, representing 43 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 173 kt; ambient temperature at the airport was 27 °C.
The first en-route climb commenced 1 mile north-east of Elizabeth, New Jersey, climbing from 947 ft asl to 19,274 ft asl - an altitude gain of 18,328 ft - in 9 minutes while covering 39 nm.
A level cruise segment began 2 miles south-east of Asbury, New Jersey, lasting 7 minutes and traversing 49 nm.
A second climb started overhead Fox Chase, Pennsylvania, rising from 19,997 ft asl to 22,138 ft asl, an increase of 2,141 ft, in 2 minutes and covering 12 nm.
The first descent segment was initiated overhead Stevens, Pennsylvania, descending from 22,074 ft asl to 13,012 ft asl - a loss of 9,062 ft - in 5 minutes while traveling 35 nm.
A brief cruise followed over New Salem, Pennsylvania, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nm.
The second descent began overhead Pennville, Pennsylvania, dropping from 12,697 ft asl to 10,042 ft asl, a decrease of 2,655 ft, in 2 minutes and covering 10 nm.
A further cruise segment started 2 miles north of Taneytown, Maryland, lasting 3 minutes and covering 19 nm.
The final descent commenced 1 mile east of Spring Ridge, Maryland, descending from 9,964 ft asl to 1,549 ft asl - a loss of 8,415 ft - in 5 minutes and covering 23 nm.
On final approach to runway 19C at KIAD Washington Dulles International Airport, the aircraft approached from the north on a heading of 181.0° at 4 nm and 1,251 ft agl.
Landing on runway 19C was executed with a threshold speed of 174 kt; touchdown occurred 354 m beyond the touchdown zone at 157 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 379 fpm and a lateral deviation of 9.1 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 24 °C, wind 5 kt from 210°, a 2 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt headwind component.
The aircraft rolled out a total landing distance of 2,019 m, representing 58 % of the runway length, and the rollout alignment was offset by 11.2 m from the centreline.
Taxiing from the runway to the parking area required less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 205 nm, lasted 48 minutes, and consumed 2,348 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 executed a final approach to runway 19C at KIAD, maintaining a heading of 181.0° while 4 nm out and 1,251 ft above ground level; ambient temperature was 24 °C with wind 5 kt from 210°, including a 2 kt cross-component and a 4 kt headwind, and the overall landing score was 86.2 %.
At threshold the aircraft displayed a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was too high at 174 kt.
Touchdown occurred 354 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a fast touchdown speed of 157 kt and a firm touchdown rate of minus 379 fpm; the wheel-track was misaligned by 9.1 m from the centreline and the total landing distance measured 2,019 m, representing 58 % of the runway length.
During rollout the aircraft remained slightly off centreline, deviating 11.2 m from the centreline.
Reduce the approach and touchdown speeds toward the target VREF to bring the touchdown point within the intended zone and to lessen the firm rate, and refine lateral tracking to keep the aircraft centred within a few metres of the runway centreline throughout rollout.
