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.
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 3,189 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 543 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at Düsseldorf Airport, taking 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 23L, with a takeoff distance of 992 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 155 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 9°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 149 degrees. The crosswind was 13 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Düsseldorf Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,131 feet above sea level to 23,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,877 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 56 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Havixbeck, lasting 5 minutes and covering 39 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles south of Damme Airfield, where it descended from 23,010 feet above sea level to 4,915 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,095 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south east of Husum, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, starting overhead Landesbergen, where it descended from 4,994 feet above sea level to 4,282 feet above sea level, a decrease of 712 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles west of Stolzenau, lasting 3 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, starting 2 miles north of Hagenburg, where it descended from 3,998 feet above sea level to 1,505 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,494 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09L at Hannover Airport was made from the west, heading 92.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,321 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 09L, which was 3,189 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 134 knots.
The touchdown point was 123 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -165 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 1°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 100 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,412 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 200 nautical miles, taking 50 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,900 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EDDV Hannover Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 92.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,321 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway 09L.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 134 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly above the optimal range, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing speed. The touchdown point was located 123 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The aircraft's descent rate was -165 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered good. This indicates that the pilot maintained a controlled and stable descent throughout the landing process. 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 1°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing process.
The total landing distance was 1,412 meters, which accounts for 44% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed a smooth and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 98.9%. The pilot's attention to detail and skill in navigating the aircraft through the landing process were evident throughout the entire procedure.
