Smooth the climb
Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 30 at KOAK San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,228 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 230 degrees.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile west of KOAK San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport. The climb was from an initial altitude of 972 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 38,572 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,601 feet in 37 minutes, covering a distance of 334 nautical miles. The enroute climb was a significant portion of the flight, allowing the aircraft to reach its cruising altitude.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered its enroute level cruise phase, which started 8 miles southwest of Indian Springs, Nevada. This phase of the flight lasted for 188 minutes, covering a distance of 1,725 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise was a period of steady flight, where the aircraft maintained a consistent altitude and airspeed.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 48 miles southwest of Indian Shores, Florida. The descent was from a maximum altitude of 38,886 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 1,306 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,580 feet in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 210 nautical miles. The enroute descent was a critical phase of the flight, requiring precise control to ensure a safe and controlled descent.
The final approach to runway 10R at KFLL Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 90.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10R, which had a length of 2,434 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 412 meters, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 127 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -154 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,276 nautical miles, taking a total of 261 minutes, and the aircraft used 11,276 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was a successful and efficient operation, with the aircraft performing well throughout its various phases of flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (KFLL) on runway 10R. The final approach was executed from the west, with the aircraft heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 134 knots, registering at 134 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 412 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown speed of 127 kt was a little fast, but the aircraft's rate of descent was good at -154 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C. The runway length at KFLL is 2,434 meters, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft to land safely. The aircraft's touchdown alignment with the runway was perfect, indicating a precise and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 945 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out without any issues.
