Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 0 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Smooth out your control inputs through touchdown and rollout, easing the controls rather than snapping them to avoid sharp g spikes.
What happened: Average g force through the landing came out at 1 g, well above the smooth, steady loading expected through touchdown and rollout.
Watch for: G-force meter: hold it within the normal smooth range through touchdown and rollout.
See Arrival Landing
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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 9,508 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,381 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Dallas Love Field, the Boeing B737-800 began its journey with a smooth taxiing process, taking approximately 9 minutes to reach the runway. As it rolled down runway 13R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 147 kt, clearing the ground with a takeoff distance of 4,167 ft, which was 50% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 85 °F and a gentle headwind of 2 kt.
As the aircraft climbed out of Dallas Love Field, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 36,572 ft in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nm. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching a maximum rate of climb. Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 36,572 ft for 27 minutes as it covered a distance of 214 nm. The cruise phase was followed by a series of descents, with the aircraft reducing its altitude to 11,995 ft in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nm. The final descent phase saw the aircraft reducing its altitude to 2,260 ft in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nm.
As the aircraft approached Kansas City International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 19L, aligning itself with the runway at 4 nm and 1,236 ft above ground level. The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown distance, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 132 kt and a rate of -14 fpm. The total landing distance was 2,847 ft, which was 30% of the available runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 16 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nm. The total flight distance was 481 nm, with the aircraft consuming 8,320 lbs of fuel over a flight duration of 94 minutes.
The Boeing B737-800 touched down on runway 19L at KMCI Kansas City International Airport with a high degree of precision, showcasing exceptional approach quality. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,236 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning itself with the runway heading of 193.0 degrees. The approach was characterized by a stable and controlled descent, culminating in a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a satisfactory threshold speed of 136 knots, with a corresponding touchdown distance of 1,390 feet. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -14 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline position. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit and a light headwind of 1 knot, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment throughout. The total landing distance of 2,847 feet, which accounted for 30% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was scored at 99.5%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and precision displayed by the crew. The combination of good approach quality, stable touchdown characteristics, and controlled rollout phase resulted in a successful and efficient landing on runway 19L at KMCI.
