Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 176 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 154 kt against a target of 176 kt, running 22 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 176 kt.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 7.6 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 7.6 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
See Arrival Landing
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 9,512 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,418 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 33L at KBWI Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, a movement that lasted 10 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 33L, the Boeing B-737 accelerated to a liftoff speed of 145 kt and became airborne after traveling 5,400 ft, representing 57 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 73 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 240°, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and no head-wind.
The climb commenced approximately 1 mile southeast of Elkridge, Maryland, with the aircraft climbing from 1,048 ft asl to 35,306 ft asl, an altitude gain of 34,258 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 117 nm.
Level cruise began about 6 miles southeast of KFYJ Middle Peninsula Regional Airport, Shacklefords, Virginia, and persisted for 18 minutes, during which the flight covered 137 nm.
Descent operations started roughly 2 miles west of Kinston, North Carolina, with a reduction from 35,999 ft asl to 1,252 ft asl, a loss of 34,747 ft over 23 minutes and a distance of 118 nm.
The final approach to runway 18 at KMYR Myrtle Beach International Airport was executed from the north, on a heading of 168.0°, at 4 nm and 1,221 ft agl. Local weather reported a temperature of 86 °F, wind 4 kt from 210°, a cross-wind of 2 kt and a head-wind component of 3 kt.
Landing on runway 18, which measures 9,512 ft, was performed with a threshold speed of 135 kt. Touchdown occurred at 1,425 ft down the runway, at a speed of 130 kt, and the aircraft settled at a vertical speed of minus 46 fpm; runway-touchdown alignment was recorded as very good.
The rollout continued to a total landing distance of 3,591 ft, representing 38 % of the runway, and the alignment during rollout was noted as perfect.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 380 nm, required 76 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 6,395 lb of fuel.
The Boeing B737 executed the final approach to runway 18 at KMYR Myrtle Beach International Airport from the north on a heading of 168.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,221 ft AGL. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 135 kt.
Touchdown occurred 1,425 ft down the runway at a good speed of 130 kt, with a perfect touchdown rate of minus 46 fpm and a very good runway touchdown alignment. The total landing distance was 3,591 ft, representing 38 % of the 9,512 ft runway.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect and the aircraft remained on centreline for the remainder of the rollout.
With a perfect score of 100.0 % the landing was exemplary; continue to monitor the modest cross-wind component and maintain the current technique to preserve this high level of performance.
