Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,611 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 356 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 07L at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,669 meters, which was 53% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 36°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 80°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Phoenix, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of the airport and continued for 19 minutes, covering a distance of 151 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 2,153 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 35,866 feet, an increase of 33,713 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 11 miles south east of Saint Johns, Arizona, and lasted for 29 minutes, covering a distance of 596 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 35,237 feet to 36,506 feet, an increase of 1,269 feet, in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 4 miles north of Solomon, Kansas, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 268 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 9 miles south west of Kahoka Municipal Airport in Missouri, and continued for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 175 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 36,589 feet to 5,847 feet, a decrease of 30,742 feet. The enroute level cruise then started overhead Rossi's Farm Airport in Illinois, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile south east of Lockport, Illinois, and continued for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 5,844 feet to 1,838 feet, a decrease of 4,006 feet.
The final approach to runway 04R at Chicago Midway International Airport was made from the south west, with a heading of 43.0°, at an altitude of 1,220 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was made on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 357 meters, and a touchdown speed of 145 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -205 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 19 knots at 90°. The crosswind was 14 knots, and the headwind was 13 knots. The total landing distance was 1,202 meters, which was 75% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,253 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 94 minutes. The aircraft used 7,590 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW) on runway 04R. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 43.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,220 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft achieved a high score of 99.0% for this landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 145 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was 357 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking to slow down the aircraft.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.8 meters, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 14 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 14°C, a wind speed of 19 knots at 90°, resulting in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,202 meters, which accounted for 75% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and runway alignment, which may have been due to the crosswind conditions.
