Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 16°, 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 rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 10L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport in São Paulo, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 1,424 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 176 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 25°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 110°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was also 2 knots. The enroute climb started 2 miles northeast of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 3,408 feet above sea level to 34,051 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,643 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles east of Itirapina, São Paulo, Brazil, and lasted for 97 minutes, covering a distance of 793 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 9 miles west of SBFF Fazenda Varnier Airport Arenapolis, Mato Grosso, Brazil, where it climbed from 34,547 feet above sea level to 35,908 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,361 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 24 miles northwest of SBFF Fazenda Varnier Airport Arenapolis and lasted for 171 minutes, covering a distance of 1,434 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 2 miles east of San Antonio del Tequendama, Departamento de Cundinamarca, Colombia, where it climbed from 36,298 feet above sea level to 38,272 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,974 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles northeast of Quipile, Departamento de Cundinamarca, Colombia, and lasted for 69 minutes, covering a distance of 562 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 5 miles southwest of MRSX Sixaola Airport Sixaola, Provincia de Limon, Costa Rica, where it descended from 37,963 feet above sea level to 4,247 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,716 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at MROC Juan Santamaría International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 69.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,252 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 07 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 429 meters and a touchdown speed of 146 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was excellent at -52 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 300°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was also 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,923 meters, which is 76% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 3,022 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 385 minutes. The aircraft used 47,952 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at MROC Juan Santamaría International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 07 was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 69.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level. The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 146 knots, registering at 147 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 429 meters was deemed good, indicating that the pilots managed to slow down the aircraft effectively. The touchdown speed of 146 knots was a little fast, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
One of the standout aspects of this landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -52 feet per minute. This indicates that the pilots maintained a smooth and controlled descent, minimizing the impact on the aircraft's landing gear and overall safety. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to accurately navigate the aircraft onto the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 300°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, which further contributed to the smoothness of the landing. The total landing distance of 1,923 meters was 76% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots managed to slow down the aircraft effectively and maintain control throughout the landing.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain control of the aircraft even after touchdown. Overall, this landing was a testament to the skill and expertise of the pilots, as well as the capabilities of the Boeing 777-300 aircraft.
