Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
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 1,902 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 01L at General Mitchell International Airport (KMKE) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The takeoff distance was 4,481 feet, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 53°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 300°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of Cudahy, Wisconsin, and reached an altitude of 38,237 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,484 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 131 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles northeast of Chatsworth, Illinois, and lasted for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 196 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 6 miles northeast of Vienna Airport (KVIN) in Illinois. The descent from 38,235 feet to 1,827 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,408 feet, took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 122 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20L at Nashville International Airport (KBNA) was made from the north, heading 198.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,227 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 20L, which was 8,006 feet long, was successful, with a threshold height above the target and a threshold speed of 139 knots. However, the touchdown point was 542 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots.
The touchdown rate was smooth at -115 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 240°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 4,580 feet, which was 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 458 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 88 minutes. The aircraft used 7,792 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KBNA Nashville International Airport on runway 20L. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 198.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,227 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good approach speed, touching down at 139 knots, which was within the target threshold speed.
However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, occurring 542 feet down the runway. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was a bit faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking to slow down the aircraft. Despite this, the touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -115 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, deviating by 16 feet from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a miscalculation of the approach path. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a light wind of 2 knots from 240°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance of 4,580 feet was 57% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, indicating that the pilot maintained good control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown parameters.
