Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
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 1.1 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 12,014 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,175 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Palm Springs International Airport (KPSP), the Boeing B737-800 began its journey down runway 31L, accelerating to liftoff speed of 150 kt in 2,915 ft, which was 53% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off into a local weather environment characterized by a temperature of 85 °F and a 10 kt headwind from 321°.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from 1,362 ft above sea level to 35,002 ft, a vertical increase of 33,641 ft, in 16 minutes and covering 100 nm. This climb phase was initiated approximately 1 mile northeast of Palm Springs. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 35,002 ft, and covering 487 nm in 63 minutes, before starting its descent phase 11 miles northwest of Poncha Springs, Colorado. The descent from 34,998 ft to 7,990 ft, a decrease of 27,008 ft, took 23 minutes and covered 130 nm.
The aircraft continued its descent, entering a level cruise phase overhead Horseshoe Landings Airport (CO60), before beginning its final approach to runway 17R at Denver International Airport (KDEN). The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 1,177 ft, and a touchdown speed of 140 kt. The total landing distance was 4,594 ft, which was 38% of the available runway length. Following a smooth touchdown, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering 2 nm in 14 minutes. The total flight distance was 741 nm, and the aircraft consumed 11,756 lbs of fuel during the journey, which lasted 130 minutes.
The Boeing B737-800 touched down on runway 17R at KDEN Denver International Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -131 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed was maintained at 145 kt, meeting the required standards. The aircraft's touchdown speed of 140 kt was also within acceptable limits, further contributing to a safe and controlled landing.
The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a touchdown distance of 1,177 ft, which was well within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 ft from the centreline, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 46 °F and a headwind of 3 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The rollout phase was characterized by very good alignment, with the aircraft staying close to the centreline. The total landing distance of 4,594 ft, which accounted for 38% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance was impressive, with a score of 99.1% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew.
