Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 8.6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,321 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 383 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 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 17 at FCPP Antonio Agostinho-Neto International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,584 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 179 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started enroute climb 1 mile south of FCPP Antonio Agostinho-Neto International Airport, Pointe Noire. The climb took 10 minutes and covered 49 nautical miles, with an increase in altitude from 1,045 feet above sea level to 23,867 feet above sea level, a total increase of 22,822 feet.
The enroute level cruise started 16 miles southwest of FNCA Cabinda Airport, Cabinda, and lasted for 33 minutes, covering 124 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 23 miles south of N'zeto, Angola, and descended from 23,866 feet above sea level to 1,513 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,353 feet in 19 minutes, covering 81 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at FNLU Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 247.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,261 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 25 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 384 meters, which is good. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 146 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -177 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,377 meters, which is 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 263 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 1 hour. The aircraft used 2,722 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at FNLU Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The final approach to runway 25 was conducted from the north east, with a heading of 247.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 141 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 384 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -177 feet per minute was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating a safe and stable landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.7 meters, which may require some adjustments during future landings. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a gentle headwind of 7 knots from a direction of 230°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, which contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,377 meters was 59% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient room to stop safely. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with only minor deviations from the ideal performance.
