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: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: gear still up.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,494 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 891 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Philadelphia International Airport took approximately 8 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Boeing 737-800 then departed from runway 27L, utilizing 3,605 feet of the 10,500-foot runway, which equated to 34% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 145 knots, with a headwind of 7 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to 13,020 feet above sea level, it traversed a distance of 28 nautical miles in 6 minutes, increasing its altitude by 11,982 feet. The enroute climb phase concluded overhead the Philadelphia Seaplane Base Essington. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 13,100 feet above sea level for 5 minutes, covering 32 nautical miles. This was followed by a series of enroute descents, with the first commencing overhead Roosevelt, New Jersey, and the final descent starting overhead Little Ferry, New Jersey. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase once more, this time lasting 3 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The Boeing 737-800 then began its final approach to runway 29 at Newark Liberty International Airport, descending from 2,936 feet above sea level to 1,466 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft landed on the 6,491-foot runway, utilizing 71% of its length, with a touchdown distance of 1,107 feet and a touchdown speed of 130 knots. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 56 minutes to cover a distance of 56 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 190 nautical miles, with a total fuel consumption of -12,719 pounds.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 29 at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, characterized by a stable and controlled descent. The aircraft was established on the final approach course at 2 nautical miles from the threshold, at an altitude of 803 feet above ground level and heading 274.0°. The approach was conducted in a 2-nautical-mile radius, with the aircraft maintaining a steady rate of descent and aligning itself with the runway centerline.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold speed control, touching down at 134 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,107 feet was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 130 knots was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate of -232 feet per minute was slightly higher than ideal, indicating a slightly steeper descent than intended. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 58°F and a crosswind of 13 knots, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The rollout phase was generally smooth, with the aircraft maintaining a steady speed and direction. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 28 feet from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the intended path. Despite this, the total landing distance of 4,589 feet, which accounted for 71% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 97.5%.
