Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,978 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 247 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 02 at FNCT Catumbela Airport in Angola. The takeoff distance was 1,087 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and no wind.
As the aircraft climbed out of Catumbela Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 41 minutes. During this time, the aircraft ascended from 1,039 feet above sea level to 38,784 feet, an increase of 37,745 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 287 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 124 minutes and covered 994 nautical miles. This phase began 19 miles west of FNGI Ngjiva Pereira Airport in Angola.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 7 miles southeast of FAXD Victoria West Airport in South Africa. The descent phase lasted for 24 minutes and covered 169 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 39,102 feet to 1,478 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,624 feet. The final approach to runway 26 at FAPE Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 238.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,262 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 26 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 250 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 136 knots, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -128 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 17°C and a wind of 12 knots at 230°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,457 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 194 minutes. The aircraft used 8,402 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at FAPE Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport, achieving a score of 97.3%. The final approach to runway 26 was initiated from the north east, heading 238.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 130 kt, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 250 meters was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -128 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, which may require further investigation to determine the cause.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 12 kt from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 12 kt, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance of 678 meters was 34% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained very good alignment with the runway centerline, demonstrating excellent control and stability. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
