Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.4° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 4.6° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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 rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KMCO Orlando International Airport took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Boeing 737-800 then began its departure roll on runway 35L, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 152 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,399 meters accounted for 46% of the available runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 23°C, with a wind of 12 knots at 49°, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KMCO, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of the airport, ascending from 1,113 feet above sea level to 35,282 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with a total ascent of 34,169 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a 61-minute enroute level cruise, during which it covered 462 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place overhead Sawgrass, Florida, before the aircraft began its enroute descent 7 miles southwest of KPTB Dinwiddie County Airport, Petersburg, Virginia. The descent from 34,833 feet to 1,411 feet in 27 minutes covered a distance of 138 nautical miles.
The final approach to landing at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport began 1 nautical mile from the runway, with the aircraft descending from 1,266 feet above ground level to touch down at 0 feet. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold, resulting in a touchdown rate of -262 feet per minute. The touchdown distance of 367 meters was considered good. Following touchdown, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in 8 minutes. The total flight distance of 716 nautical miles was achieved in 2 hours and 9 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 5,045 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on Runway 19L at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, marking the culmination of a well-executed final approach. The aircraft descended from 42 feet above ground level to touch down smoothly, a decrease of 42 feet in just 5 seconds, indicating a controlled and stable rate of descent. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a steady and consistent rate of descent throughout the final stages of the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 136 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold speed, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -262 feet per minute. However, the touchdown distance of 367 meters was good, indicating that the aircraft's speed was well-managed during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -2 degrees Celsius, presented a challenging environment for the pilots, but they successfully navigated the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
Following touchdown, the aircraft's rollout was characterized by a steady and controlled deceleration, with the aircraft coming to a stop at an altitude of 134 feet above sea level. The distance of 1,158 meters was reasonable, considering the aircraft's speed and the runway conditions. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 88.1% reflecting the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's speed and descent rate, despite the challenging weather conditions.
