Departure
Add power to maintain the target climb speed as you continue the climb.
What happened: Climb speed fell well below the target during the climb out, sagging during the initial climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: the target climb speed
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 25 at CYOW Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport, with the aircraft taking off after covering 1,670 meters, which was 69% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots blowing from a direction of 199 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of CYOW Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport. Over the course of 11 minutes, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,365 feet above sea level to 38,496 feet, an increase of 37,131 feet. This climb covered a distance of 115 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 26 miles northwest of CMW4 Collins Field Madawaska. This phase of the flight lasted for 47 minutes and covered a distance of 1,209 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 13 miles east of Gull Lake in Saskatchewan. Over the course of 2 minutes, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 38,817 feet to 40,845 feet, an increase of 2,028 feet. This climb covered a distance of 33 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which began 19 miles northeast of CJQ4 Maple Creek Airport in Saskatchewan. This phase of the flight lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 434 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 15 miles northeast of Princeton in British Columbia. Over the course of 17 minutes, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 40,211 feet to 2,944 feet, a decrease of 37,266 feet. This descent covered a distance of 129 nautical miles.
Following the descent, the aircraft entered a brief level cruise phase, which began 8 miles south of Gibsons in British Columbia. This phase of the flight lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 08L at CYVR Vancouver International Airport, approaching from the west at a heading of 100.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 08L at CYVR Vancouver International Airport, which had a length of 2,803 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 149 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 271 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 146 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -364 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 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots blowing from a direction of 140 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,253 meters, which was 45% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft then began its taxiing process, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,938 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 107 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 23,754 kilograms of
The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner successfully landed at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) on runway 08L. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 100.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach score was 98.5%, indicating a high level of proficiency and control during the landing.
The aircraft landed on the runway with a good threshold height, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and controlled touchdown. The threshold speed of 149 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had maintained a steady and controlled approach speed. The touchdown distance of 271 meters was also good, suggesting that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively before touching down on the runway.
However, the touchdown speed of 146 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -364 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 140°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions would have required the pilot to make some adjustments to the approach, but they did not appear to have had a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,253 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively and maintain control throughout the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner at Vancouver International Airport was a successful and controlled operation, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and landing.
