Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 9.7°, 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 137 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 08R at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 2,081 meters, which is 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 182 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and winds of 2 knots at 50 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both 2 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of Brownsville, Florida, and the aircraft climbed from 1,065 feet above sea level to 30,712 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,648 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 94 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 33 miles west of San Andros Airport in the Bahamas and lasted 85 minutes, covering a distance of 660 nautical miles. The aircraft then encountered another enroute climb, this time starting 47 miles northeast of Miches in the Dominican Republic. The aircraft climbed from 31,000 feet above sea level to 33,055 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,055 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 47 miles north of Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic and lasted 189 minutes, covering a distance of 1,421 nautical miles. The aircraft then encountered another enroute climb, this time starting 63 miles southwest of Fazenda do Limão Airport in Brazil. The aircraft climbed from 32,911 feet above sea level to 34,832 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,921 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 67 miles southwest of Fazenda do Limão Airport in Brazil and lasted 180 minutes, covering a distance of 1,393 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 3 miles north of Borda da Mata in Brazil, and the aircraft descended from 34,507 feet above sea level to 3,733 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,774 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10R at André Franco Montoro International Airport (SBGR) was made from the west, heading 75.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,278 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 10R was successful, with a good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown distance. The touchdown speed was 138 knots, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -559 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and winds of 3 knots at 70 degrees. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,393 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,680 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 511 minutes. The aircraft used 66,582 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, achieving a high score of 96.2%. The final approach to runway 10R was conducted from the west, with a heading of 75.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 139 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 139 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 138 knots. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, at -559 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.9 meters, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during future approaches. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 70°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly hard touchdown rate.
The total landing distance was 1,393 meters, which is approximately 46% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the approach and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled descent during the landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft scored high marks for its performance. However, the slightly hard touchdown rate and misaligned touchdown position may require some adjustments to the approach and landing procedures to ensure optimal performance in the future.
