Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 5,226 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,226 ft of the 8,006 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,610 ft touchdown sits inside 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 21 at KCHS Charleston International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,701 feet, which accounted for 67% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 84°F and winds of 2 knots at 50°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and there was a 2-knot tailwind. After departing from KCHS, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of the airport and climbing from 1,055 feet above sea level to 36,260 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 126 nautical miles and took 19 minutes, resulting in an increase of 35,205 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles east of KHQU Thomson-McDuffie County Airport. This phase lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 153 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles southwest of Tunnel Hill, Georgia. The descent took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 106 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 36,198 feet above sea level to 1,862 feet above sea level.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 02R at KBNA Nashville International Airport. The approach was made from the south, with a heading of 19.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,254 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 227 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 120 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -129 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 82°F and winds of 2 knots at 170°, with a 1-knot crosswind and a 2-knot tailwind. The total landing distance was 4,943 feet, which accounted for 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 393 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 81 minutes. The aircraft used 6,539 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KBNA Nashville International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The final approach to runway 02R was conducted from the south, with a heading of 19.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 130 knots. The touchdown point was located 227 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. However, the touchdown speed of 120 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -129 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 82°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 170°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 4,943 feet was 62% of the available runway length of 8,006 feet. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll and was able to align the aircraft with the centerline of the runway.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases.
