Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4°, 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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 292 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey with a smooth taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 09R, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 1,051 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a liftoff speed of 141 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a gentle wind of 4 knots at 5°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Paris, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 39,782 feet above sea level in 39 minutes, covering a distance of 317 nautical miles. The climb was a steady and efficient process, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude in a relatively short period. Once level cruise was established, the aircraft continued on its journey, covering a distance of 870 nautical miles in 123 minutes. The cruise phase was characterized by a stable and efficient flight path, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed.
As the aircraft approached its destination, LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, it began its descent, reducing its altitude from 39,593 feet to 2,324 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 135 nautical miles. The final approach was made to runway 05, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 124 knots and a touchdown distance of 292 meters, which was 29% of the runway length. The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, threshold speed, and runway touchdown alignment, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a relatively short distance. After a smooth taxiing process, the aircraft came to a stop at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 1,349 nautical miles, using 7,604 kilograms of fuel in the process.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down smoothly on runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, showcasing a well-executed approach. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 192 ft agl at 1 nm, aligning with the runway heading of 46.0°. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 129 kt, well within the acceptable range. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down at a speed of 124 kt, which was slightly above the ideal touchdown speed.
The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a touchdown distance of 292 m, well within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -240 fpm was slightly higher than desired, indicating a slightly longer deceleration phase. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a headwind of 8 kt, contributed to a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment throughout. The total landing distance of 729 m, accounting for 29% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was scored 99.1%, reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew. The combination of good approach quality, smooth touchdown, and controlled rollout resulted in a safe and efficient landing.
