Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 12°, 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,123 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 451 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777F aircraft departed from Milan Malpensa International Airport's runway 35L. It took 7 minutes to taxi from the parking area, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles before reaching the runway. After a smooth departure roll, the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 173 knots, utilizing 63% of the runway's length, which was approximately 2,218 meters.
During the initial climb, the aircraft ascended from 1,775 feet above sea level to 32,864 feet, an increase of 31,089 feet in just 15 minutes. The climb covered a distance of 87 nautical miles and began shortly after passing Somma Lombardo in Lombardy, Italy. Subsequent level cruising periods took place over the Italian town of Monastero di Vasco and lasted 99 minutes, covering a distance of 768 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination in Portugal, it started a descent from 33,199 feet to 10,428 feet, a decrease of 22,771 feet in just 13 minutes. This descent took place 12 miles northwest of Estremoz in the Distrito de Evora region. The crew then initiated another level cruise, lasting 2 minutes as the aircraft covered 8 nautical miles southwest of Sesimbra in the Distrito de Setubal region.
The aircraft then began another descent, this time from 9,724 feet to 4,579 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles west of Sesimbra. Another brief level cruise took place south of Parede in the Lisboa district, lasting only 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The final descent started 3 miles southwest of Charneca de Caparica, where the aircraft descended from 4,165 feet to 1,636 feet in just 3 minutes, covering an 8-nautical-mile distance.
Upon approaching the destination airport, the crew executed a final approach for runway 02 at Lisboa Portela Airport. The aircraft maintained a heading of 23.0° as it descended from 4 nautical miles away to 1,272 feet above ground level (agl).
On landing, the Boeing 777F touched down safely on runway 02, which has a length of 3,123 meters. The threshold speed was in good range, and the aircraft landed at a speed of 142 knots. The touchdown distance was 449 meters, which was good, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots. Despite having a fair touchdown rate, the aircraft successfully made a safe landing.
Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took only 2 minutes, and the total flight distance covered was 976 nautical miles. The aircraft utilized 19,493 kilograms of fuel during the entire trip, which took 148 minutes from departure to landing.
The Boeing 777F successfully landed at Lisbon Portela Airport (LPPT) with a final approach score of 96.6%. This indicates a high level of accuracy and control throughout the landing process. The aircraft approached the runway from the south with a heading of 23.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles from the airport and at an altitude of 1,272 feet.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, exhibiting a good threshold height, threshold speed of 142 knots, and touchdown distance of 449 meters. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -224 feet per minute was deemed only fair, suggesting some minor deviation from the ideal rate.
Upon landing, the aircraft maintained a significant proportion of the runway for its total landing distance, utilizing 44% or 1,374 meters of the available 3,123 meter runway length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.7 meters, and a similar issue was observed with runway rollout alignment, which deviated from the centerline by 8.3 meters. The local weather conditions, at 29 degrees Celsius with a moderate tailwind of 2 knots, had minimal impact on the landing.
