Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

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 1,728 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,728 m of the 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 440 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 777-300 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at John F Kennedy International Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 31L, with a takeoff distance of 1,133 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 178 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 2°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 250 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was also 1 knot. After departing from New York, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead Howard Beach, and climbed from 1,057 feet above sea level to 34,992 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,935 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 21 miles south east of New Shoreham, Rhode Island, and lasted for 254 minutes, covering a distance of 2,387 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 34,636 feet above sea level to 36,640 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,004 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again, this time from a location with coordinates Latitude: 50.9421769 and Longitude: -13.2922434, and lasted for 61 minutes, covering a distance of 491 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 3 miles north of Longues-sur-Mer, Normandie, France. The descent was from 37,132 feet above sea level to 1,659 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,473 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 09L at Charles de Gaulle International Airport was from the west, heading 85.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,302 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 09L, with a runway length of 2,692 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 146 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 421 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 143 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -254 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 150 degrees, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 5 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,163 nautical miles, taking 371 minutes, and the aircraft used 43,704 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 09L was executed from the west, with a heading of 85.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,302 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was marked by a high score of 99.6%, indicating a nearly flawless execution of the landing procedure.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height, with the threshold speed being within the acceptable range at 146 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 421 meters, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly above the optimal range, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -254 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 150°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge to the pilot, but the aircraft's performance was not significantly affected.
The total landing distance of 1,635 meters was 61% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 777-300 at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and attention to detail. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the landing was executed with precision and control.
