Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 0.5° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 8.7° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The rest of the report
This flight commenced with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV) to runway 03R. The taxiing process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of approximately 1 nautical mile. Upon departure, the aircraft took off onto runway 03R, utilizing 47% of its length to reach liftoff speed of 160 knots.
At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 30 knots from a direction of 40 degrees. However, due to the prevailing wind, there was a significant headwind component of 30 knots, resulting in a crosswind of only 2 knots. As the aircraft took to the skies, it climbed steeply, initially from an altitude of 1,294 feet above sea level. The enroute climb phase commenced approximately 1 mile southwest of Artemida in Attica, Greece, and it took the aircraft 21 minutes to reach a cruising altitude of 36,847 feet above mean sea level, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles in the process.
The aircraft leveled off and entered the cruise phase approximately 16 miles northeast of Tsagkarada in Thessaly, Greece. This segment of the flight lasted 104 minutes and covered a considerable distance of 741 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent approximately 1 mile northeast of Waldmunchen in Bavaria, Germany. The descent phase saw the aircraft's altitude decrease from 36,067 feet above mean sea level to 2,304 feet above mean sea level, a total reduction of 33,764 feet in a mere 21 minutes, while covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at Erfurt-Weimar Airport (EDDE) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 277.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,271 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 27, which measured 2,381 meters in length. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 139 knots. The touchdown distance was impressive, with the aircraft touching down at a distance of 232 meters from the beginning of the runway. However, the touchdown speed was perhaps a little fast at 139 knots, and the touchdown rate was quite hard at -530 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the aircraft's rollout alignment was equally impressive as it taxied to the parking area. The total landing distance covered was 881 meters, which equates to 37% of the runway's length. Considering the challenging weather conditions at the time of landing, including a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a headwind of 18 knots, the flight's overall performance was commendable.
In conclusion, the flight saw the Airbus A320 cover a total distance of 965 nautical miles, utilizing a significant amount of fuel in the process, with a total fuel consumption of 6,084 kilograms. The flight's duration took approximately 160 minutes to complete.
Aircraft Overview:
The Airbus A320 successfully executed a landing at EDDE Erfurt-Weimar Airport, navigating towards runway 27 from the east at a heading of 277.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles (nm) from the runway, which is approximately 2,381 meters in length.
Flight Performance:
Key aspects of the landing included an adequate threshold height and a satisfactory threshold speed of 139 knots. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the recommended threshold, reaching 139 kt. Moreover, the landing resulted in a relatively hard touchdown rate, measuring -530 feet per minute (fpm).
Weather Conditions:
During the landing, the local weather conditions were moderate. The temperature was 17 degrees Celsius, while the wind was blowing at 18 knots from a direction of 280 degrees, resulting in a headwind and a negligible crosswind of 1 kt. This headwind assisted the aircraft's final approach and descent.
Landing Distance and Alignment:
The total landing distance covered 881 meters, which accounts for approximately 37% of the available runway length. The runway touchdown alignment was precise and the roll-out alignment, following touchdown, was also perfect. This suggests that the aircraft touched down at a suitable position along the runway and maintained control during the subsequent rollout phase.
