Smooth the climb
Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,082 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 319 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 04R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,133 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 16 knots at 100°. The crosswind component was 14 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. The climb took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 98 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,026 feet above sea level to 33,505 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,479 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles east of Rudkobing, Denmark. This phase lasted for 36 minutes and covered a distance of 260 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile south east of Hollandsche Rading, Netherlands. The descent took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 124 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 33,857 feet above sea level to 3,938 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,919 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north east of Aarschot, Belgium. This phase lasted for 51 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile south west of Aarschot, Belgium. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 3,393 feet above sea level to 1,434 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,959 feet.
The final approach to runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 250.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,281 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 25L, which had a length of 3,082 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 136 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 320 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -342 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 15 knots at 279°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots. The total landing distance was 1,295 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 502 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 99 minutes. The aircraft used 3,732 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 25L, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-aligned with the runway, and the touchdown was made at a good threshold height.
The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 136 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed of 132 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 320 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft's speed was well-managed during the approach. The touchdown rate of -342 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway with a moderate amount of force.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from 279°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots successfully managed the aircraft's approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,295 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft's speed and altitude were well-managed during the approach, and the pilots made a smooth touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft's wheels remained aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and management during the approach and touchdown phases.
