Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 1,759 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,759 m of the 3,346 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 321 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A330-900, then departed from runway 36 at RJGG Chubu Centrair International Airport in Japan. The takeoff distance was 1,753 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 319°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile north of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,012 feet above sea level to 31,499 feet, an increase of 30,487 feet in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles southwest of Miyazu, Japan, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb 6 miles west of RJBT Konotori Tajima Airport, rising from 32,077 feet to 34,026 feet in 2 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 10 miles east of Tottori, Japan, and lasted for 98 minutes, covering 599 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, climbing from 34,024 feet to 34,993 feet in 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles, and then level cruising for 104 minutes, covering 694 nautical miles. Another climb took place 46 miles east of ZLIC Yinchuan Hedong International Airport, rising from 35,010 feet to 38,000 feet in 3 minutes and covering 24 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 21 miles east of the airport and lasted for 382 minutes, covering 2,774 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent 23 miles west of OIBV Lavan Airport, descending from 39,009 feet to 1,246 feet in 28 minutes and covering 124 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 30R at OBBI Bahrain International Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 303.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,229 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 30R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 319 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The threshold speed was good at 132 knots, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 131 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -235 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,672 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.7 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 4,352 nautical miles, taking 653 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 58,236 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Airbus A330-900 successfully landed at OBBI Bahrain International Airport, with a score of 92.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 303.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,229 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 132 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -235 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 319 meters was also within the acceptable range.
Despite the good performance in terms of speed and distance, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centreline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot at 284°.
The crosswind component was negligible at 0 knots, and the headwind component was 1 knot, which had a minimal impact on the aircraft's performance. The total landing distance of 1,672 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.7 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations in terms of alignment and touchdown speed.
