Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,477 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,325 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 07L at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX). The takeoff distance was 5,335 feet, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 60°F and winds of 5 knots at 120°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. After departing from KLAX, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Lennox, California. The climb took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 149 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 1,045 feet above sea level to 35,002 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 6 miles north of Niland Airport (KNII) in California. This cruise phase lasted for 142 minutes and covered a distance of 1,242 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead La Harpe Airport (KNAM) in Illinois. The descent took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing in altitude from 34,665 feet to 11,861 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Compton Airport (C82) in Illinois. This cruise phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Malta Airport (KNAT) in Illinois. The descent took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 73 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing in altitude from 11,266 feet to 1,928 feet.
As the aircraft approached Chicago O'Hare International Airport (KORD), it began its final approach to runway 27R from the east, heading 269.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,250 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 146 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,327 feet, and the touchdown rate was -261 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 70°F and winds of 7 knots at 230°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 4,530 feet, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft then began its taxiing period from the runway to the parking, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,600 nautical miles and took 218 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 19,031 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27R at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.2%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 269.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,250 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 152 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 1,327 feet, which is within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 146 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -261 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve its alignment with the runway. The total landing distance of 4,530 feet was 61% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to come to a safe stop.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase and ensured that it remained aligned with the runway centerline. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with only minor deviations from the target parameters.
