Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6.6°, 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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.

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 252 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 31L at KHOU William P Hobby Airport in Houston, Texas. The takeoff distance was 1,505 meters, which was 75% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KHOU, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northwest of the airport. The climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 151 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,056 feet above sea level to 35,136 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,080 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 10 miles north of F17 Center Mun Center in Texas. This phase of the flight lasted 20 minutes and covered a distance of 509 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 4 miles southwest of Jerome in Illinois. The descent took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 149 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 34,070 feet above sea level to 3,968 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,102 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 1 mile east of Hickory Hills in Illinois. This phase of the flight lasted only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile southeast of Chicago Lawn in Illinois. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 3,673 feet above sea level to 1,408 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,265 feet.
The final approach to runway 22L at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 224.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 780 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which was 1,611 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 145 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 252 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -218 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -3 degrees Celsius, with a wind of 10 knots at 250 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 9 knots. The total landing distance was 892 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was 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 826 nautical miles, and the flight took 65 minutes. The aircraft used 5,923 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 22L at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach was initiated from the northeast, heading 224.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 780 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's performance during the approach was impressive, with a score of 99.7%. This indicates that the pilot adhered to standard operating procedures and maintained a high level of situational awareness throughout the approach. The aircraft's threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 145 knots was also within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 252 meters, which is within the acceptable range for a Boeing 737-800. However, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -218 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -3°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the aircraft's performance during the landing.
The total landing distance of 892 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a safe stop.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 on runway 22L at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport was a successful operation, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
