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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,562 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 260 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, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The Boeing 737-600 then departed from runway 05 at Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (FAKN), with a takeoff distance of 1,092 meters, which was 42% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 140 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 30°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 103°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile north-east of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 3,609 feet above sea level to 40,001 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,392 feet in 35 minutes, covering a distance of 238 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started approximately 3 miles north of Machaneng Airport (FBMG). This phase lasted for 106 minutes, covering a distance of 931 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting approximately 50 miles south-west of Andulo Airport (FNCO), where it descended from an altitude of 39,938 feet above sea level to 3,326 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,612 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 234 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started approximately 10 miles north of Luanda International Airport (FNBJ). This phase lasted for only 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting approximately 10 miles north-east of Luanda, where it descended from an altitude of 2,990 feet above sea level to 1,500 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,490 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport (FNLU) was made from the north-east, heading 227.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,249 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 3,562 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 126 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 262 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 118 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -192 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 27°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 210°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 710 meters, which was 20% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,424 nautical miles, taking a total of 161 minutes, and the aircraft used 8,051 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at FNLU Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.0%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 227.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,249 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 3,562 meters, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 126 knots. The touchdown distance of 262 meters was considered good, but the touchdown speed of 118 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -192 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.0 meters, which may require some adjustments during the landing roll. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance of 710 meters was only 20% of the runway length, indicating a good landing performance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, showing that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll and was able to align the aircraft with the centerline of the runway.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good landing performance. However, there were some minor issues with the threshold speed and touchdown speed, which may require some adjustments during future landings.
