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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,503 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 520 m past the threshold — beyond 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 12 at the L.F. Wade International Airport in Bermuda. The takeoff distance was 1,001 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 200 degrees. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the L.F. Wade International Airport in Hamilton, Saint George's Parish, Bermuda. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,059 feet above sea level to 38,911 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,852 feet in 34 minutes, covering a distance of 260 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 178 minutes and covered a distance of 2,589 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a latitude of 34.8896585 and a longitude of -60.4173065. After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles northwest of Guillena, Andalusia, Spain. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 39,180 feet above sea level to 2,407 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,774 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 166 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 12 miles north of Al Hoceima, Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima, Morocco, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 17 at the Cherif Al Idrissi Airport in GMTA was made from the north, heading 173.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,239 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 17 was successful, with the touchdown point being 96 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 108 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -36 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 279 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 908 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,033 nautical miles, taking 229 minutes, and the aircraft used 14,669 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at GMTA Cherif Al Idrissi Airport, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 173.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,239 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course, ultimately touching down on runway 17, which has a length of 2,503 meters.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 117 kt, which is a minor deviation. The touchdown point was 96 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this is not considered a significant issue.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 108 kt, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -36 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 2 kt from 279°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 kt and a headwind of 0 kt. The total landing distance was 908 meters, which is 36% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured and controlled throughout the landing.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of precision and control throughout the final approach and landing phases.
