Smooth the climb
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
When Vr arrives, an abrupt near-full-scale pull, pitch overshoots, a push, and an oscillation through the first 200 ft. It feels like “this aircraft is twitchy” but the actual fault happened before liftoff. The pitch trace needs to show a clean ramp during liftoff.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,801 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 437 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 03 at EIDL Donegal Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 03, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 138 kt and left the ground after a takeoff distance of 569 m, representing 44 % of the runway; ambient temperature was 14 °C with wind from 251° at 4 kt, a 4 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt tailwind.
Climb commenced overhead EIDL, rising from 1,034 ft asl to 40,546 ft asl, an altitude gain of 39,512 ft achieved in 39 minutes while traversing 309 nm.
Level cruise began over Stretton on Fosse and continued for 96 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 809 nm at cruise altitude.
Descent was initiated 6 mi north-west of Castelsardo, descending from 40,745 ft asl to 1,310 ft asl, a loss of 39,435 ft in 16 minutes and spanning 119 nm.
The final approach to runway 32 at LIEE Cagliari Elmas Airport was flown from the south-east on a heading of 318.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,288 ft agl.
Landing on runway 32 was executed with a threshold speed of 125 kt; touchdown occurred at 440 m down the runway at 114 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 140 fpm and perfect alignment; local weather reported a temperature of 28 °C, wind from 350° at 2 kt, a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
The total landing distance recorded was 853 m, equivalent to 30 % of the runway, and the rollout maintained perfect alignment.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,243 nm, lasted 156 minutes, and consumed 6,792 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 approached runway 32 at LIEE Cagliari Elmas Airport from the south-east on a heading of 318.0° at 4 nm and 1,288 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a threshold speed of 125 kt, which was well above target, and the threshold height was good. Touchdown distance was good at 440 m.
Touchdown occurred with a speed of 114 kt, a little fast, and a smooth vertical rate of -140 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 853 m, representing 30 % of the 2,801 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 99.9 % the landing was excellent; reducing the threshold and touchdown speeds toward their target values would provide additional safety margin without affecting the overall performance.
