Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 3.5°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 5,684 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,684 ft of the 6,979 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,977 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 28 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 30L at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP). The takeoff distance was 8,266 feet, which was 83% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 39°F and winds of 5 knots at 20°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of Richfield, Minnesota, and reached an altitude of 36,446 feet above sea level (asl) after climbing 34,554 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles northwest of John's Field Athens in Wisconsin. This phase lasted for 288 minutes, covering a distance of 769 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, first from 37,352 feet asl to 25,529 feet asl, a decrease of 11,822 feet in 5 minutes, covering 40 nautical miles. The descent started 1 mile southwest of Leyden, Massachusetts.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southwest of Lunenburg, Massachusetts, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles. The descent started 4 miles northwest of Barre, Massachusetts, and the aircraft descended from 25,322 feet asl to 328 feet asl, a decrease of 24,994 feet in 20 minutes, covering 52 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a right-hand pattern entry, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 22 seconds. The aircraft then began another climb, which started 1 mile south of Winthrop, Massachusetts, and climbed from 1,628 feet asl to 4,538 feet asl, an increase of 2,909 feet in 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent, which started 2 miles north of Cohasset, Massachusetts, and descended from 4,445 feet asl to 3,196 feet asl, a decrease of 1,249 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles northeast of Scituate, Massachusetts, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent, which started 7 miles north of Cohasset, Massachusetts, and descended from 3,005 feet asl to 1,266 feet asl, a decrease of 1,738 feet in 3 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27 at Logan International Airport (KBOS) was from the east, with a heading of 256.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,239 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft landed on runway 27 at KBOS, with a runway length of 6,979 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 142 knots. The touchdown point was 630 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 141 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was good at -182 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 36°F and winds of 0 knots at 0°. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport, achieving a score of 96.4%. The final approach to runway 27 was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 256.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,239 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being well within acceptable limits. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, registering at 142 knots. This may indicate that the aircraft was slightly overpowered or that the pilots were taking a more cautious approach to ensure a safe landing.
The touchdown point was located 630 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 141 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, which may have contributed to the slightly longer touchdown point. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -182 feet per minute (fpm) was within acceptable limits, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 36°F and no wind. This lack of wind made the landing process even smoother, as there were no crosswind or headwind components to contend with. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The total landing distance of 5,437 feet was 78% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown, minimizing the amount of runway required to come to a stop. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft coming to a stop safely and efficiently.
