Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 184 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 163 kt against a target of 184 kt, running 21 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 184 kt.
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,505 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 435 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 32R, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 30 °C and a gentle tailwind of 1 kt. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 152 kt, utilizing only 35% of the available runway length of 1,402 meters.
As the aircraft climbed away from Kuala Lumpur, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,047 feet above sea level to 36,980 feet in 37 minutes, covering a distance of 268 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude in a relatively short period. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 164 minutes and covered a distance of 1,280 nautical miles. The cruise phase was marked by a stable flight path, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent altitude and airspeed.
As the aircraft began its descent into Pattimura International Airport, it started its enroute descent from a cruising altitude of 36,998 feet, descending to 1,338 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 176 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 04 was executed from the southwest, with the aircraft aligning itself with the runway at a height of 1,297 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 126 kt and a touchdown rate of -97 fpm. The total landing distance was 927 meters, which was 37% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,731 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 11,423 kg of fuel during the journey, which lasted for 233 minutes.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down smoothly on runway 04 at WAPP Pattimura International Airport, showcasing excellent approach quality. The aircraft descended from 1,297 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning with the desired heading of 45.0°. The threshold height was good, allowing for a stable and controlled approach.
As the aircraft touched down, it maintained a speed of 126 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 431 meters was also good, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown rate of -97 feet per minute (fpm) was particularly impressive, demonstrating exceptional control and precision. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centreline, which may require attention during future landings.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by very good alignment, with the total landing distance of 927 meters accounting for only 37% of the runway length. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 320°, contributed to a stable and predictable landing environment. Overall, the landing was deemed 100.0% successful, with no notable issues or areas for improvement.
