Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 16°, 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 1,774 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,774 m of the 2,847 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 420 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Boeing 777-300 then departed from runway 05 at HTDA Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The takeoff distance was 1,348 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 171 knots.
As the flight progressed, it encountered various weather conditions, with a temperature of 30°C and winds of 8 knots at 50°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile north-east of the airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,034 feet above sea level to 31,841 feet, an increase of 30,806 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles.
The flight then entered a level cruise phase, which started 38 miles north of HTOO Mtibwa Airport in Mvomero, Tanzania. This phase lasted for 38 minutes, covering a distance of 329 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent another climb, this time from 32,045 feet to 33,666 feet, an increase of 1,620 feet in 2 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles.
The flight continued with multiple level cruise phases, each lasting several minutes to hours, covering significant distances. These phases included a 198-minute cruise from 6 miles north-east of Musoma in the Mara Region, Tanzania, covering 1,644 nautical miles, and a 188-minute cruise from 68 miles south-east of Bilma in Agadez, Niger, covering 1,481 nautical miles.
As the flight approached its destination, it encountered another climb phase, this time from 35,896 feet to 37,875 feet, an increase of 1,979 feet in 3 minutes, covering 29 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 58 miles south of Six-Fours-les-Plages in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France, lasting 68 minutes and covering 514 nautical miles.
The flight then began its descent, starting overhead Vaulx-lez-Tournai in Wallonia, Belgium. The aircraft descended from 38,003 feet to 1,266 feet, a decrease of 36,737 feet in 27 minutes, covering 119 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18C at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the north, heading 184.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 18C was successful, with a touchdown distance of 420 meters and a touchdown speed of 141 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -221 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and winds of 9 knots at 180°.
The total landing distance was 1,693 meters, accounting for 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,263 nautical miles, taking 557 minutes, and the aircraft used 68,325 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 99.7%. The final approach to runway 18C was conducted from the north, with a heading of 184.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 144 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 420 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 141 knots was a little fast, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The aircraft's rate of descent was fair at -221 feet per minute (fpm), which is a reasonable rate for a controlled landing. 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 the landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 180°. This resulted in a headwind of 9 knots, which was beneficial for the landing. The crosswind component was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,693 meters was 59% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. 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 considered successful, with a high score of 99.7%. The aircraft's performance was good, with a smooth and controlled descent, and the pilot's skills were demonstrated through the precise alignment of the aircraft with the runway centerline during both the touchdown and rollout phases.
