Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6.2°, 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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,918 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 302 m touchdown sits inside 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 36 at CYWK Wabush Airport, with a takeoff distance of 601 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 122 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -23°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 120°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started 1 mile northeast of Labrador City, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and ascended from 2,468 feet above sea level to 27,547 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,079 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which began 40 miles southwest of CZUM Churchill Falls Airport, Churchill Falls, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent, starting 60 miles southeast of Churchill Falls, and descended from 27,473 feet above sea level to 2,983 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,490 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered another level cruise, which started 30 miles southwest of CYYR Goose Bay Airport, Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles.
The final descent began 5 miles southeast of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, and the aircraft descended from 2,616 feet above sea level to 1,373 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,243 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 33 at CYYR Goose Bay Airport, approaching from the southeast, heading 313.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,217 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 33 at CYYR Goose Bay Airport was successful, with a runway length of 2,918 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 120 knots. The touchdown distance was 303 meters, and the touchdown speed was 119 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was good at -162 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 -11°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 290°.
The total landing distance was 967 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 252 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 836 kilograms.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at CYYR Goose Bay Airport, achieving a score of 95.6%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 313.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,217 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 33, which has a length of 2,918 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 120 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 303 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 119 knots was slightly faster than expected, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the touchdown rate was still considered good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -11°C and a wind speed of 18 knots from 290°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but the aircraft's performance was satisfactory.
The total landing distance of 967 meters was 33% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centerline. This minor deviation may have been due to the pilot's efforts to maintain control and stability during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing of aircraft C750 at CYYR Goose Bay Airport was successful, with a high score of 95.6%. The pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills, despite the challenging weather conditions.
