Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 15°, 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,906 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 432 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte Airport (LFKJ), the Airbus A319 began its journey with a taxiing period of 5 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 20, with the aircraft taking off at a speed of 150 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,314 meters accounted for 60% of the runway length, and the aircraft lifted off smoothly.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute level, it began its ascent from 920 feet above sea level to 39,009 feet, an increase of 38,089 feet in 20 minutes, covering 132 nautical miles. The climb was steady, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude efficiently. The enroute level cruise phase started 53 miles east of Golfo Aranci, Italy, and lasted for 44 minutes, covering 341 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 39,021 feet to 3,445 feet, a decrease of 35,576 feet in 15 minutes, covering 92 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34 at Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (LGKR) was initiated from the south, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 117 knots and a touchdown rate of -45 feet per minute.
The landing distance of 1,300 meters accounted for 68% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 586 nautical miles, taking 93 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,423 kilograms of fuel. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 310 degrees. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with the aircraft performing well within its operational parameters.
The aircraft, an Airbus A319, commenced its final approach to runway 34 at LGKR Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport from the south, aligning with the heading of 348.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,158 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 126 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 430 meters and a touchdown speed of 117 knots, which was also within the desired parameters.
The touchdown characteristics of the aircraft were impressive, with a perfect touchdown rate of -45 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centreline, which may require attention during future approaches. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12°C, did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing. The total landing distance of 1,300 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway length, was also within the acceptable range.
The rollout phase of the landing was executed well, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment with the centreline. Overall, the landing performance of the Airbus A319 was satisfactory, with a score of 97.5%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal, the aircraft demonstrated a high level of control and precision during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
