Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1.9°, 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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,040 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,390 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 23R at the KIND Indianapolis International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,083 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 190°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of the airport, with the aircraft climbing from 1,806 feet above sea level to 39,186 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,380 feet in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 6 miles east of Bardstown, Kentucky, and lasted for 71 minutes, covering a distance of 524 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 4 miles northeast of East Williston, Florida, descending from 39,112 feet above sea level to 1,293 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,819 feet in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 92 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01L at KTPA Tampa International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 2.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 01L was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 121 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown distance was 1,388 feet, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 0°. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 4,248 feet, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft took 8 minutes to taxi to the parking, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 746 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 129 minutes. The aircraft used 9,933 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KTPA Tampa International Airport, achieving a score of 96.1%. The final approach to runway 01L was initiated from the south, with a heading of 2.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed of 127 knots was also satisfactory.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly higher than desired at 121 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -143 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 1,388 feet was also within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline, which may have contributed to a slightly misaligned runway rollout alignment.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 0°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the aircraft experienced a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance of 4,248 feet was 38% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance. The slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position and rollout alignment may require attention from the pilots to ensure that future landings are more precise. Nevertheless, the aircraft's performance was generally good, and the landing was completed safely.
