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 3.1°.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,449 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 342 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 35 at the Central Nebraska Regional Airport (KGRI), located in Grand Island, Nebraska. The takeoff distance was 1,101 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 149 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 260°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of the Central Nebraska Regional Airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,809 feet above sea level to 38,824 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,015 feet, in 42 minutes and covering a distance of 301 nautical miles.
After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles west of Bolivar, Missouri. This phase lasted for 86 minutes and covered a distance of 818 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead Bradenton, Florida. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 38,829 feet above sea level to 1,276 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,553 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 157 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at Miami International Airport (KMIA) was made from the west, with a heading of 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09, which had a length of 3,449 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 133 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 344 meters, but the touchdown speed of 126 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -127 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,196 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,284 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 158 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,890 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 09, achieving a score of 99.9%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe altitude prior to touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 133 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 344 meters was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. However, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance.
The touchdown rate of -127 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilots managed to absorb the impact of touchdown effectively. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, signifying that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a gentle headwind of 6 knots at 100°.
The total landing distance of 1,196 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and efficiently, with the pilots demonstrating excellent skills and judgment.
