Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 8,508 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 558 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 01L at Harry Reid International Airport (KLAS) in Las Vegas, Nevada.
As the aircraft took off, it reached a liftoff speed of 153 knots, covering a takeoff distance of 5,986 feet, which was 71% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 107°F, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 100°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The enroute climb phase began overhead Paradise, Nevada, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 3,197 feet above sea level to 35,192 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,995 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 19 miles northeast of L50 Tuweep Tuweep, Arizona, and lasted for 220 minutes, covering a distance of 1,732 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent phase, starting 2 miles northeast of Cincinnatus, New York. The descent from 35,103 feet above sea level to 3,201 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,901 feet, took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 92 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a series of short level cruise and climb phases, starting with a 2-minute level cruise phase 1 mile west of Round Lake, New York, followed by a climb phase 1 mile southeast of Milton, New York, and a descent phase 1 mile southwest of Saratoga Springs, New York.
The final approach to runway 19 at Albany International Airport (KALB) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 178.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,254 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 120 knots and a touchdown distance of 558 feet, which was 40% of the runway length.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 82°F, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 158°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,976 nautical miles, taking 288 minutes, and the aircraft used 24,246 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KALB Albany International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 178.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's final approach to runway 19 was executed with precision, achieving a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed of 122 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a well-controlled descent. Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 120 knots, which was also considered good. However, the touchdown rate of -234 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent.
The landing distance of 3,387 feet was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 82°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from 158°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centreline was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and bring it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down within the acceptable range and coming to a stop in a relatively short distance.
