Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 5.2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,938 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,938 ft of the 11,316 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,953 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 07 at MKJS Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The takeoff distance was 2,714 feet, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 87°F and winds of 4 knots at 90°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb began 1 mile northeast of MKJS Sangster International Airport. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,013 feet above sea level to 38,085 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,072 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 131 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 23 miles northeast of MWCB Charles Kirkconnell International Airport in West End, Cayman Islands, and lasted for 38 minutes, covering a distance of 256 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 40 miles south of Big Pine Key in Florida, United States. The descent from 38,196 feet above sea level to 1,313 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,883 feet, took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 116 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at KMIA Miami International Airport was made from the west, heading 87.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,294 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 09 was successful, with a touchdown point 590 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -183 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 79 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 84°F and winds of 4 knots at 90°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 6,675 feet, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 79 feet from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 512 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 96 minutes. The aircraft used 9,352 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 09, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing performance. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 590 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal touchdown point. The touchdown speed of 138 knots was also a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to fully arrest the aircraft's descent before touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -183 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly after touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 84°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 90°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 4 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed. The total landing distance of 6,675 feet was 59% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range.
However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 79 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to the pilot's inability to accurately align the aircraft with the runway during the final approach. This misalignment was also reflected in the runway rollout alignment, which was also misaligned by 79 feet from the centreline. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some notable deviations from the ideal landing performance that may require further attention and training for the pilot.
