Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 11°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,570 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,570 m of the 2,241 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 473 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22L at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,123 meters, which accounted for 70% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 17 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 17 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of Bedford Park, Illinois, and the aircraft climbed from 1,686 feet above sea level to 35,545 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,859 feet in 14 minutes, covering 113 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles north of Maroa, Illinois, and lasted for 22 minutes, covering 430 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 9 miles east of OK81 Homer Ranch Airport Talihina, Oklahoma, and descended from 36,168 feet above sea level to 1,173 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,995 feet in 22 minutes, covering 145 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13L at KDAL Dallas Love Field was from the northwest, with a heading of 134.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 681 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 13L, which had a length of 2,241 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was well above the target at 154 knots.
The touchdown point was 61 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 149 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -240 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 170 degrees, with a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,493 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 693 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 66 minutes, using 5,059 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Dallas Love Field (KDAL) on runway 13L, achieving a score of 99.3%. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 134.0° at 2 nautical miles and 681 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good alignment with the runway throughout the approach, resulting in a very good runway touchdown alignment.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was well above the target, reaching 154 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 149 knots was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown point was 61 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -240 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and winds of 12 knots from 170°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft's performance was not significantly impacted by the wind conditions, as the pilots were able to maintain control and execute a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,493 meters was 67% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop in a controlled manner.
