Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 179 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 156 kt against a target of 179 kt, running 23 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 179 kt.
Arrival
Take the power back earlier on final, so the aircraft settles onto the path and the speed comes back to 134 kt together. Do not push down for the height: that only adds speed.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 69 ft agl, 19 ft agl above the 50 ft agl target, and at 141 kt, 7 kt over the 134 kt threshold speed. High and fast together is energy the runway has to absorb, and this touchdown came 1,264 ft beyond the aim point.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 134 kt on short final, then 50 ft agl over the threshold
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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 8,006 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,764 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Southwest Florida International Airport, KRSW, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey with a taxiing period of 10 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. At 06, the aircraft took off, utilizing 3,530 feet of the 11,000-foot runway, which accounted for 29% of its length. The liftoff speed of 137 knots was achieved, and the aircraft began its climb into the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 73°F and winds of 9 knots at 80°.
As the aircraft climbed from 1,003 feet above sea level to 37,995 feet, it covered 132 nautical miles in 19 minutes, demonstrating a steady ascent. The enroute climb phase concluded overhead High Point, Florida, where the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 37,995 feet for 49 minutes while covering 390 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent from 38,010 feet to 3,104 feet, a decrease of 34,906 feet in 21 minutes, as the aircraft approached Calhoun Airport, KEAP. The aircraft then leveled off at 2,518 feet for a brief period before commencing its final descent to 1,937 feet, a decrease of 581 feet in 2 minutes, as it prepared for its approach to Nashville International Airport, KBNA.
The final approach to runway 02R at KBNA was conducted from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 18.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,331 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a touchdown point 1,374 feet beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 133 knots, which was slightly above the target. The touchdown rate was firm at -324 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 4,256 feet accounted for 53% of the 8,006-foot runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 7 minutes. The total flight distance of 660 nautical miles was achieved in 113 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 9,933 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 02R at KBNA Nashville International Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -324 fpm, slightly above the target. The aircraft's speed at touchdown was 133 kt, which was a little fast, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was 1,374 ft beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slightly long touchdown. The threshold height at 68 ft agl was above the target, but the threshold speed of 141 kt was well above the target, suggesting a high approach speed.
The approach quality was good, with a heading of 18.0° at 4 nm and 1,331 ft agl, indicating a stable and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 54°F and a wind of 8 kt at 0°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component of 2 kt and a significant headwind component of 8 kt.
The total landing distance of 4,256 ft was 53% of the runway length, indicating a relatively long rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 89.7%. While there were some minor deviations from the target, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were sufficient to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
