Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1.5°, 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 1,683 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,683 m of the 2,644 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 345 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12L at Dubai International Airport (OMDB). The Boeing 777F aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 2,517 meters, which is 70% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 180 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were hot, with a temperature of 38 degrees Celsius, and a moderate wind blowing at 11 knots from a direction of 160 degrees. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Dubai, it began its enroute climb from an altitude of 1,106 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 33,587 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 140 nautical miles and took 21 minutes to complete. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 76 minutes and covered a distance of 873 nautical miles.
The flight continued with another enroute climb phase, this time from an altitude of 33,443 feet to 35,324 feet, an increase of 1,881 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 164 minutes and covered a distance of 1,262 nautical miles.
As the flight approached its destination, the aircraft began its enroute descent from an altitude of 34,633 feet to 2,514 feet, a decrease of 32,119 feet in 23 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 118 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a short level cruise phase, lasting just 3 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at Tunis Carthage International Airport (DTTA) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 293.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 148 knots and a touchdown rate of -113 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was good at 349 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were cooler, with a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, and a moderate wind blowing at 16 knots from a direction of 310 degrees. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 15 knots. The total landing distance was 1,611 meters, which is 61% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 2,430 nautical miles, taking 300 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 46,041 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Tunis Carthage International Airport, achieving a score of 99.7%. The final approach to runway 29 was conducted from the east, with the aircraft heading 293.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 156 knots, which was well above the target threshold speed. This indicates a good control of the aircraft's descent and approach. The touchdown distance of 349 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating a smooth and controlled landing.
The touchdown speed of 148 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -113 feet per minute was smooth, indicating a gentle and controlled impact with the runway. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the approach and landing procedures.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from 310°. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 15 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance of 1,611 meters was 61% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the slight misalignment of the touchdown position and the need to adjust the approach and landing procedures may require some attention to ensure future landings are even more precise.
