Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.5° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 5° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,632 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 416 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Beechcraft Duke, then departed from runway 34 at FEFF Bangui M'Poko International Airport. The takeoff distance was 844 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 97 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles north of FEFF Bangui M'Poko International Airport. The climb took 14 minutes and covered 30 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 2,200 feet above sea level to 14,451 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,251 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 13 miles southwest of Boali. This phase of the flight lasted 78 minutes and covered 274 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 31 miles west of Meiganga. The descent took 9 minutes and covered 27 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 14,423 feet above sea level to 5,738 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,685 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 27 miles northeast of FKTI Tibati Airport. This phase of the flight lasted 8 minutes and covered 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 6 miles south of Ngaoundere. The descent took 4 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 5,677 feet above sea level to 3,764 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,913 feet.
The final approach to runway 02 at FKKN N'Gaoundéré Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 23.0 degrees at 0 nautical miles and 127 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 78 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 416 meters, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -107 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 0 knots at 180 degrees. This resulted in no crosswind or headwind. The total landing distance was 1,424 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 368 nautical miles, which was covered in 2 hours and 0 minutes. The aircraft used 243 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft Duke successfully landed at FKKN N'Gaoundéré Airport, achieving a score of 99.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 23.0° at an altitude of 127 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The final approach was executed with precision, setting the stage for a smooth touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 90 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing, as the touchdown distance of 416 meters was well within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 78 knots was also satisfactory, indicating a controlled descent. The rate of descent was smooth, at -107 feet per minute, further contributing to the overall success of the landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 180°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more straightforward.
The total landing distance of 1,424 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a respectable figure. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Overall, the Beechcraft Duke's landing at FKKN N'Gaoundéré Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and touchdown.
