Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 3°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

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 1,665 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,665 m of the 3,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 343 m 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,443 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 179 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Birchanger in Essex, England. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,314 feet above sea level to 3,998 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,684 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Hatfield Heath in Essex, England, and lasted for 5 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from an altitude of 4,006 feet above sea level to 37,005 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,999 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 143 nautical miles. The climb took place overhead Abberton in Essex, England.
The enroute level cruise then resumed, starting 13 miles west of Huisduinen in Provincie Noord-Holland, The Netherlands, and lasted for 82 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 648 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 29 miles west of Kihelkonna in Saaremaa, Estonia. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 36,996 feet above sea level to 1,557 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,439 feet, in 26 minutes and covering a distance of 138 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at EETN Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 90 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,405 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 08, which had a length of 3,216 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 147 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 343 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 145 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -189 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1 degree Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 150 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,586 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 968 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 153 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,747 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EETN Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 08 was executed from the west, with a heading of 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,405 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course, ultimately touching down on the runway with a touchdown distance of 343 meters, which is considered good.
The touchdown speed of 145 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been slightly aggressive in their approach. However, the touchdown rate of -189 feet per minute (fpm) was good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a steady course and align the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 150°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions were favorable for landing, and the pilot was able to take advantage of the headwind to help slow the aircraft down during the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,586 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the approach and landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a steady course and align the aircraft with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and precision. The aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and maintain a steady course throughout the rollout phase, resulting in a safe and efficient landing.
