Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 3.5°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 2,090 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,090 m of the 2,992 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 598 m past the threshold — beyond 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 36L at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 1,134 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 270 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of Vijfhuizen, a location in the province of Noord-Holland, the Netherlands. The climb began at an altitude of 1,063 feet above sea level and continued to 34,707 feet, an increase of 33,644 feet, in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 165 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 7 miles northeast of EDXH Helgoland-Düne Airport Helgoland, a location in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. This cruise phase lasted for 67 minutes and covered a distance of 528 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 45 miles west of EEKA Kärdla Airport Kärdla, a location in Hiiumaa, Estonia. The descent from 34,574 feet to 9,886 feet, a decrease of 24,688 feet, took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 74 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, this time starting 8 miles southeast of Ekenaes, a location in Uusimaa, Finland. This cruise phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 9 miles southeast of Ekenaes. The descent from 9,581 feet to 1,420 feet, a decrease of 8,161 feet, took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 43 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04L at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport was made from the southwest, heading 48.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 04L, which had a length of 2,992 meters. The threshold height at 55 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 143 knots.
The touchdown point was 175 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -163 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 0 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was also 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,002 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 823 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 135 minutes. The aircraft used 5,590 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport, achieving a high score of 95.6%. The final approach to runway 04L was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 48.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point located 175 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly above the target, indicating that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further to achieve a more optimal landing. However, the touchdown rate of -163 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -14°C and a wind speed of 4 knots, with a slight headwind component of 3 knots. The crosswind component was also 3 knots, which was relatively minimal. The runway threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 143 knots.
The total landing distance of 2,002 meters was 67% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to safely come to a stop. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling characteristics. However, there were some minor deviations from the target values, such as the touchdown speed and threshold height, which may be areas for improvement in future landings.
