Arrival Final 1 — Approach angle 4.3 ° at 0 %, Heading variation 0.0 ° at 58 %, −2.38 points
Departure Roll — landing lights off should be on; Liftoff speed was 47 kn at 28 %, g force 0.02 to 0.94 g at 58 %, −2.06 points
Departure Climb 2 — bank angle up to 21.2 ° at 50 %, Heading variation -0.2 ° at 87 %, −1.77 points

Top opportunity

Hold the approach angle

Not the biggest loss in points — the one thing on this flight a check pilot would raise first, and the guide passage for it.

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.
