Smooth the climb
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,506 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,493 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 16L at KEUG Mahlon Sweet Field in Eugene, Oregon. The takeoff distance was 4,127 feet, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KEUG, it encountered local weather conditions of 78°F temperature and a wind of 2 knots at 120°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of the airport and reached an altitude of 38,876 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,483 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles southwest of Chiloquin State Airport in Oregon. This phase lasted for 56 minutes and covered a distance of 414 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Beatty Airport in Nevada, and descended from 39,047 feet to 18,165 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 60 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northeast of Caas Airport in Nevada. This phase lasted for 64 minutes but covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles northeast of Caas Airport, and descended from 17,992 feet to 3,362 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport was made from the east, heading 270.0°, at 4 nautical miles and 1,235 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which was 10,506 feet long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 128 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,500 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 121 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -132 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 89°F temperature and a wind of 4 knots at 270°. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 4,688 feet, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 629 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 114 minutes. The aircraft used 8,536 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport on runway 26L, achieving a score of 99.5%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,235 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 127 kt, registering at 128 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 1,500 feet was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a smooth touchdown. The touchdown speed of 121 kt was a little fast, but the smooth touchdown rate of -132 feet per minute (fpm) suggests that the pilots were able to absorb the impact effectively.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a precise and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 89°F and a wind speed of 4 kt from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 4 kt, which likely contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed.
The total landing distance of 4,688 feet was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and were able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely and efficiently. Overall, the landing was characterized by a high degree of precision and control, with the pilots demonstrating excellent skills and judgment.
