Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 183 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 164 kt against a target of 183 kt, running 19 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 183 kt.
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,541 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 217 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing ANYN Nauru International Airport, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey with a smooth taxi to the runway, taking just 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. As it rolled down runway 12, the aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 139 kt, clearing the ground in a takeoff distance of 757 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 29 °C and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 20 °.
As the aircraft climbed out of Nauru, it reached an enroute climb phase, ascending from 937 ft to 38,993 ft in 41 minutes, covering a distance of 307 nautical miles. The climb was steady, with the aircraft reaching a maximum altitude of 38,993 ft. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed for 53 minutes, covering 409 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent, which began 12 miles west of Tanrake Village, Tuvalu, and continued until the aircraft reached 2,538 ft. The descent phase was then followed by a brief level cruise, lasting just 2 minutes, before the aircraft began its final descent into NGFU Funafuti International Airport.
The final approach to runway 03 at Funafuti International Airport was executed from the southwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 43.0 ° at 4 nautical miles and 974 ft above ground level. The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 113 kt and a touchdown distance of 204 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The touchdown rate was good at -190 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 637 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 882 nautical miles, taking 2 hours and 4 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,645 kg of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down smoothly on runway 03 at NGFU Funafuti International Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in the landing phase. The aircraft's approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 117 kt, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it maintained a consistent speed of 113 kt, which was slightly above the ideal touchdown speed but still within safe parameters.
The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a touchdown distance of 204 m and a touchdown rate of -190 fpm, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 29 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt at 0 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 637 m, accounting for 41% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was scored at 99.8%, reflecting the high level of skill and precision demonstrated by the pilot.
