Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1.8°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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 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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,295 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 479 m 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 30 at Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 908 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 143 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 69 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe. The climb took 37 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,032 feet above sea level to 38,673 feet, an increase of 37,641 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 275 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 131 minutes and covered a distance of 1,931 nautical miles. The cruise phase began at a latitude of 19.4601121 and a longitude of -58.0608681. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 19 miles south of Santo Antao, Azores, Portugal. The descent took 10 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 39,052 feet to 1,549 feet, a decrease of 37,503 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 48 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33 at Lajes Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 321.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,365 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 33, which had a length of 3,295 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 124 knots. The touchdown point was 55 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 111 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was fair at -281 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 0 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 880 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 2,261 nautical miles, which was covered in 183 minutes. The aircraft used 11,297 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at Lajes Airport, with a final approach score of 99.4%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southeast, heading 321.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,365 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot successfully guided the aircraft onto runway 33, which has a length of 3,295 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 123 kt, coming in at 124 kt. Despite this minor deviation, the touchdown point was 55 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor discrepancy.
The touchdown speed of 111 kt was reported as good, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and speed to achieve a safe touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -281 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to achieve a smoother touchdown with more precise control.
The runway touchdown alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is an important factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 5 kt from a direction of 0°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 kt and a headwind of 4 kt, which the pilot successfully managed to navigate.
The total landing distance of 880 meters was 27% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and speed to achieve a safe and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline as it rolled out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision in guiding the aircraft onto the runway and achieving a safe and efficient touchdown.
