Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 14°, 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 5,423 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,423 ft of the 8,016 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,886 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This Boeing 737-800 flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, which took approximately 19 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Upon arrival at the designated runway, runway 24L, the aircraft started its departure roll and successfully took off after covering a distance of 3,951 feet, which accounted for 46% of the available runway length. The aircraft reached its liftoff speed of 156 knots and continued its ascent into the sky.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 83 degrees Fahrenheit and a very light breeze of 2 knots from a direction of 140 degrees. The tailwind at this point was minimal, standing at 1 knot. The enroute climb started approximately 2 miles southwest of the departure airport, and the aircraft successfully increased its altitude from 1,045 feet above sea level to 35,519 feet, covering a vertical distance of 34,474 feet in 22 minutes and traveling a horizontal distance of 142 nautical miles.
After successfully reaching its cruise altitude, the aircraft engaged in a 50-minute enroute level cruise, during which it covered a distance of 396 nautical miles. Subsequent to this leg, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent from its cruising altitude of 36,154 feet to a landing altitude of 1,381 feet, covering a vertical distance of 34,773 feet in 22 minutes and traveling a horizontal distance of 121 nautical miles.
Upon reaching its final approach altitude, heading southwest at an altitude of 1,231 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the intended touchdown point, the aircraft lined up for a descent onto runway 07 at LIBD Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport. After a successful landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 140 knots, with a touchdown rate of -173 feet per minute. Unfortunately, the landing performance had some minor issues, as the touchdown point was 531 feet beyond the intended touchdown zone. The aircraft touched down with a threshold speed slightly above the targeted value of 146 knots.
After a successful touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was misaligned by 33 feet from the centerline. With regards to the landing performance, the touchdown speed was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was satisfactory. The aircraft rolled out of the runway, but its alignment was misaligned by 51 feet from the centerline at the conclusion of its rollout.
In its final leg, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The entire flight, which covered a total distance of 668 nautical miles, concluded after a duration of 1 hour and 12 minutes, during which the aircraft utilized a total of 10,593 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft recently executed a successful landing at the LIBD Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport in Italy. Despite a few minor deviations, the overall performance was satisfactory. The final approach to runway 07 from the southwest at a heading of 70.0°, about 4 nautical miles away and at an altitude of 1,231 feet above ground level, set the stage for a seamless landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touch-down zone, 531 feet down the runway, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, implying a slight loss of control during the descent or a minor miscalculation. Fortunately, the rate of descent at the time of touchdown was well within acceptable limits at -173 feet per minute.
An evaluation of the landing parameters reveals that the threshold speed was a bit higher than the target at 146 knots. In addition, the runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centerline, but this is not an uncommon occurrence, as aircraft often touch down slightly off-center due to crosswinds or variations in the aircraft's handling characteristics.
During the landing, the aircraft faced a relatively calm environment with a temperature of 77°F and a gentle wind from the northwest at 2 knots. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, with no headwind to significantly influence the landing characteristics. The overall landing distance of the aircraft was 5,167 feet, which is slightly above the average, but this can be attributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The landing rollout, however, showed another minor deviation as the aircraft was 51 feet off-centerline from its expected alignment. This suggests some minor drift or loss of directional control during the rollout, possibly due to uneven friction or braking characteristics. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the aircraft during the landing was reassuring, demonstrating the skills and experience of the pilots involved.
