Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 10°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 7,065 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 7,065 ft of the 12,039 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,442 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 KJAX Jacksonville International Airport took 14 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The Boeing 737-800 then departed from runway 08, utilizing 68% of the 6,815-foot runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 165 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 64°F, with a 7-knot tailwind and a negligible crosswind component.
The enroute climb commenced approximately 1 mile southwest of The Villages Regional Hospital Heliport, The Villages, Florida, where the aircraft transitioned from a low altitude of 964 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 36,011 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,048 feet in 20 minutes and covering 122 nautical miles. Following a 173-minute level cruise, which spanned 1,040 nautical miles, the aircraft began its enroute descent 18 miles west of Cheyenne Wells, Colorado, where it decreased in altitude from 35,998 feet to 10,994 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,004 feet in 16 minutes and covering 91 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned to a short level cruise, lasting 3 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles, before resuming its descent overhead Everitt Airport Parker, Colorado. The final approach to runway 35L at KDEN Denver International Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 138 knots and a touchdown distance of 1,443 feet.
The landing on runway 35L at KDEN Denver International Airport was characterized by a slightly misaligned runway touchdown position, 13 feet off the centerline. The total landing distance was 6,822 feet, utilizing 57% of the 12,039-foot runway. Runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,291 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 222 minutes and a fuel consumption of 18,538 pounds.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 35L at KDEN Denver International Airport with a score of 99.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 1.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,373 feet above ground level. The final approach was characterized by good quality, with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was notable, with a touchdown distance of 1,443 feet, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 138 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -204 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to the slight crosswind component of 2 knots. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 43°F and a wind of 4 knots at 220°, did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 6,822 feet was 57% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
