Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 2.7°.
What happened: The wings held 2.7° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 1.9° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout 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 6,997 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,183 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 22L at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,083 feet, which was 77% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 143 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 67°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 190°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Bedford Park, Illinois. The climb took 19 minutes and covered 138 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,667 feet above sea level to 37,985 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,318 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile south east of IL39 Perry RLA Airport in Kansas. This cruise lasted 12 minutes and covered 105 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 4 miles south east of Corydon, Kentucky. The climb took 2 minutes and covered 14 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 38,103 feet above sea level to 39,071 feet above sea level, an increase of 968 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles north of Hanson, Kentucky. This cruise lasted 68 minutes and covered 558 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 29 miles south west of KCDK Lewis Cedar Key in Florida. The descent took 18 minutes and covered 110 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 39,216 feet above sea level to 2,045 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,171 feet.
After the descent, the aircraft entered a short level cruise, starting 3 miles east of 2FL6 I-10 Helistop Winfield in Florida. This cruise lasted 5 minutes and covered 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 32 at KSRQ Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, approaching from the south east at a heading of 314.0° and at an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level.
The landing was made on runway 32, which had a length of 6,997 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots. The touchdown point was 807 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -224 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 40°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 4,256 feet, which was 61% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 942 nautical miles, and the flight took 137 minutes. The aircraft used 11,198 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KSRQ Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, achieving a score of 95.3%. The final approach to runway 32 was initiated from the southeast, with a heading of 314.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 134 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed. The touchdown point was located 807 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance.
The touchdown speed of 126 knots was a bit faster than the ideal speed, resulting in a touchdown rate of -224 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 40°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 4,256 feet was 61% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out without any issues.
