Flight Score
Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 3.6°.
What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.
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: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,660 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,660 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 396 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 14 at GVSF São Filipe Airport, a small airport located in the Concelho do Sao Filipe, Cape Verde. The Boeing 737-700 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 755 meters, which was 63% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 138 knots, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 6 knots at 41 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of São Filipe Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from 1,626 feet above sea level to 40,625 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,998 feet in just 38 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 281 nautical miles during this phase of the flight.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 111 minutes and covered a distance of 903 nautical miles. The aircraft flew at a steady pace, maintaining its altitude and heading, before beginning its descent towards its destination.
The enroute descent started 10 miles northwest of Guiberoua, a town located in the Goh-Djiboua region of the Ivory Coast. The descent was steep, with the aircraft descending from 40,898 feet above sea level to 3,009 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,889 feet in just 14 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 150 nautical miles during this phase of the flight.
After the descent, the aircraft entered a short level cruise phase, which lasted for just 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. This phase was brief, as the aircraft was preparing for its final approach to the runway.
The final approach to runway 21 at DIAP Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 202.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 240 degrees.
The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 109 knots. The touchdown distance was good, at 396 meters, and the touchdown rate was smooth, at -119 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking just 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,347 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 171 minutes. The aircraft used 7,000 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at DIAP Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The final approach to runway 21 was executed from the north, with a heading of 202.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level.
The aircraft's approach and landing were characterized by good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown distance. The threshold speed was maintained at 118 knots, which is an optimal speed for landing. The touchdown distance of 396 meters was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 109 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -119 feet per minute was smooth, indicating a gentle and stable landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 240°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 2 knots each, which did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The runway length of 3,006 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,572 meters, which was 52% of the runway length.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed flawlessly, with all parameters meeting or exceeding the acceptable standards.
