Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 23 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 137 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 146 kt against a target of 137 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 137 kt at the threshold.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 8,313 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,543 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KJAX Jacksonville International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey with a taxiing period of 9 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 08, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 151 knots after a takeoff distance of 5,146 feet, accounting for 52% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 72°F, with a gentle wind of 6 knots at 150°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it traversed a distance of 109 nautical miles in 17 minutes, ascending from 978 feet above sea level to 33,991 feet. The enroute climb phase concluded 1 mile northeast of KJAX, marking the beginning of a prolonged level cruise phase that lasted 83 minutes and covered 589 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its descent, initially from 33,657 feet to 3,599 feet in 25 minutes, covering 132 nautical miles. The descent phase was punctuated by brief level cruise segments, with the aircraft maintaining a stable altitude over various points in Texas before resuming its descent. The final approach to runway 13R at KDAL Dallas Love Field was executed from the northwest, with the aircraft touching down 1,222 feet beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 132 knots.
The landing distance of 4,285 feet accounted for 52% of the runway length, with the runway touchdown position slightly misaligned by 20 feet from the centerline. The aircraft taxied to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 871 nautical miles was achieved in 152 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 13,734 pounds of fuel. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 75°F, with a wind of 11 knots at 59°.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 13R at KDAL Dallas Love Field, showcasing a good threshold height as it aligned with the runway's surface. However, the threshold speed was notably above the target, reaching 146 kt, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed of 132 kt. The aircraft's descent rate was fair at -224 fpm, but the touchdown point was 1,222 ft beyond the designated touchdown zone.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 20 ft from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing spot. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 75 °F and a moderate wind of 11 kt at 59 °, did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 4,285 ft was 52% of the runway's length, which is within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 92.0%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were sufficient to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
