Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 5.7°, 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 1,718 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,718 m of the 2,747 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 540 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
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 737-800, then departed from runway 27 at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 1,009 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 146 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both 2 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of Flagami, Florida, and the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,011 feet above sea level to 36,558 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,547 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 180 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 22 miles west of Norman Cay, Bahamas, and lasted for 129 minutes, covering a distance of 987 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 39 miles southwest of Vieux-Habitants, Guadeloupe, and descended from an altitude of 37,024 feet above sea level to 1,325 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,699 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport (TFFF) was made from the west, heading 80 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,220 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10, which had a length of 2,747 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 135 knots.
The touchdown point was 119 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -195 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 100 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,632 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,280 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 184 minutes. The aircraft used 7,796 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at TFFF Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport, achieving a score of 96.8%. The final approach to runway 10 was initiated from the west, heading 80.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,220 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 119 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force to bring the aircraft to a stop. However, the touchdown rate of -195 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 100°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. Despite these conditions, the pilots were able to maintain a very good runway rollout alignment, indicating a high level of skill and control.
The total landing distance of 1,632 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots were able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently, using a combination of braking and reverse thrust. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a relatively short distance and with a good alignment with the runway centerline.
