Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,756 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 327 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 32 at KSRQ Sarasota Bradenton International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,163 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 0 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was also 3 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Whitfield, Florida, and the aircraft ascended from 463 feet above sea level to 36,998 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,534 feet in 44 minutes, covering a distance of 346 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 11 miles southwest of Norman Cay, Bahamas, and lasted for 124 minutes, covering a distance of 1,061 nautical miles. The descent from 36,999 feet above sea level to 1,698 feet above sea level began 55 miles west of Canaries, Saint Lucia, and took 12 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 67 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at TVSA Argyle International Airport was made from the south, heading 21.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,600 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 04 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 327 meters, which was 29% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -380 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 40 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 812 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,482 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 186 minutes. The aircraft used 9,061 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at TVSA Argyle International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The final approach to runway 04 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 21.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,600 feet above ground level.
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 133 knots. This indicates that the pilot maintained a steady and controlled approach, ensuring a smooth transition from the descent to the touchdown. The touchdown distance of 327 meters was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude effectively.
The touchdown speed of 126 knots was also satisfactory, and the firm touchdown rate of -380 feet per minute suggests that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 40°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing, and the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 812 meters was 29% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently, with a perfect runway rollout alignment. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and touchdown.
