Smooth the climb
Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,716 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 421 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 01 at GVAC Amílcar Cabral International Airport. The takeoff distance was 823 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the town of Espargos in the Sal Municipality of Cape Verde. The climb took 34 minutes and covered a distance of 273 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,217 feet above sea level to 39,126 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,909 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 74 minutes and covered a distance of 938 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a specific location defined by latitude 19.7892576 and longitude -19.3453868. After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 5 miles northwest of Marrakesh in the Marrakesh-Safi region of Morocco. The descent took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 98 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 39,301 feet above sea level to 1,931 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,370 feet.
The final approach to runway 35R at GMMN Mohammed V International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 344.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 35R took place at a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 130 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 121 knots, but the touchdown distance was good at 420 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 117 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -175 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 874 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then began taxiing to the parking from the runway, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,316 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 131 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,786 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at GMMN Mohammed V International Airport, achieving a score of 99.6%. The final approach to runway 35R was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 344.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 121 knots, which may be attributed to the aircraft's weight or the pilot's decision to prioritize a safe touchdown over a precise speed. The touchdown distance of 420 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude during the approach.
The touchdown speed of 117 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -175 feet per minute was also within the desired range. This suggests that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled descent, resulting in a smooth touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, as the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 874 meters was 24% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently, resulting in a short rollout distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency in managing the aircraft's speed, altitude, and alignment during the approach and touchdown phases.
