Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 13°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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 1,812 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,812 m of the 2,606 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 591 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 18L at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 1,456 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 192 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 190 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from 991 feet above sea level to 33,257 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,266 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 113 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started overhead Sendenhorst, Germany, and lasted for 227 minutes, covering a distance of 1,750 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb from 33,482 feet above sea level to 35,389 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,908 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise, which started 12 miles east of 'Aqrah, Iraq, and lasted for 218 minutes, covering a distance of 1,742 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey with another enroute climb from 35,014 feet above sea level to 37,022 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,009 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise that followed started at a specific latitude and longitude and lasted for 87 minutes, covering a distance of 670 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent from 36,459 feet above sea level to 13,994 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,465 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 67 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb from 13,911 feet above sea level to 14,944 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,033 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at VRMM Malé International Airport was from the south, with a heading of 360 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 36 was successful, with a touchdown point 178 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 143 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -278 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 260 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,734 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,440 nautical miles, taking a total of 596 minutes, and the aircraft used 76,716 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at VRMM Malé International Airport, achieving a score of 95.3%. The final approach to runway 36 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 360.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 147 knots. However, the touchdown point was located 178 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly faster than desired, and the touchdown rate of -278 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 260°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,734 meters was 67% of the available runway length of 2,606 meters. This suggests that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining to safely stop after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have drifted off the centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 95.3%. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown point and touchdown speed, as well as a slight misalignment of the runway rollout.
