Smooth the climb
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
When Vr arrives, an abrupt near-full-scale pull, pitch overshoots, a push, and an oscillation through the first 200 ft. It feels like “this aircraft is twitchy” but the actual fault happened before liftoff. The pitch trace needs to show a clean ramp during liftoff.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,742 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 364 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 24 at PKWA Bucholz Army Air Field. The takeoff distance was 1,070 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 40 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the tailwind was 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of PKWA Bucholz Army Air Field, and climbed from an altitude of 1,007 feet above sea level to 40,844 feet above sea level, an increase of 39,837 feet in 39 minutes, covering a distance of 287 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 98 miles northeast of 3N1 Maloelap Taora Is, Maloelap Atoll, and lasted for 140 minutes, covering a distance of 1,689 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 97 miles southwest of PHPA Port Allen Airport Hanapepe, and descended from 40,719 feet above sea level to 1,297 feet above sea level, a decrease of 39,422 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 149 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 53.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 04R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 363 meters, which was 29% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 116 knots, and the touchdown rate was -188 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 0 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,131 nautical miles, taking 209 minutes, and the aircraft used 10,595 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 04R was executed from the southwest, with a heading of 53.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was marked by a high score of 99.4%, indicating a nearly flawless execution of the landing procedure.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 124 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 363 meters was also within the expected range, and the touchdown speed of 116 knots was well-controlled. The touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft landing 4.1 meters off-centerline. Despite this minor misalignment, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 0°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive.
Overall, the Boeing 737-700 aircraft demonstrated exceptional landing skills and precision, with a total landing distance of 803 meters, which was only 29% of the runway length. This achievement is a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
