Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections to track the centreline against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted 1,867 m off the centreline, and a heading variation of 27° usually follows into the initial climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings-level runway heading held 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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,533 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,533 m of the 2,451 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 388 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (KBWI) began with a smooth departure roll on runway 22. The Boeing 737-800 accelerated down the 1,272-meter runway, reaching liftoff speed of 151 knots in a relatively short distance, covering 70% of the available runway. Local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, with a gentle wind of 5 knots from 161°, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 3-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from KBWI, it transitioned into an enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 30,286 feet above sea level in just 15 minutes, covering a distance of 83 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with a total ascent of 30,082 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 30,268 feet for 26 minutes while covering a distance of 190 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a gradual descent, initiated 2 miles west of Ravena, New York, and lasting 22 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 30,268 feet to 1,542 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
The final approach to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (KMHT) was conducted from the northwest, with the aircraft aligning with runway 17 at 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown speed, with the aircraft touching down at 132 knots and achieving an excellent touchdown rate of -72 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,451 meters, covering 59% of the available runway. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 400 nautical miles, with a total fuel consumption of 3,244 kilograms, and a flight duration of 72 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 17 at KMHT Manchester-Boston Regional Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision. The aircraft descended from 1,272 feet above ground level (agl) at 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning with the runway heading of 157.0°. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 132 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -72 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The touchdown distance of 389 meters was also good, and the aircraft came to rest within the designated runway area. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centreline, which may require attention during future landings.
The Boeing 737-800's rollout was characterized by very good alignment, with the aircraft tracking closely to the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,451 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 4°C and wind at 10 knots from 180°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 98.8%.
