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.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,493 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 473 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 02 at DGSI Kumasi Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,232 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Tafo in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The climb took 38 minutes and covered a distance of 280 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,912 feet above sea level to 36,556 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,645 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 89 miles south of DBBB Cadjehoun Airport in Cotonou, Benin. This phase lasted for 160 minutes and covered a distance of 1,263 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 13 miles southwest of FZIZ Lokutu Airport in Lokutu, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 120 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 36,996 feet above sea level to 3,095 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,902 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles south of FZIC Bangoka International Airport in Kisangani, Democratic Republic of the Congo. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 30 at FZIC Bangoka International Airport, approaching from the southeast at a heading of 309.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,014 feet above ground level.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 56 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 119 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -189 feet per minute, also good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 230 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,333 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also 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 1,675 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 228 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 10,642 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at FZIC Bangoka International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The final approach to runway 30 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 309.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,014 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 128 knots. The touchdown point was located 56 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 119 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -189 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and a relatively light wind of 4 knots at 230°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the landing, and the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,333 meters was 38% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a relatively short distance, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a short distance. The high score of 98.6% reflects the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance in challenging weather conditions.
