Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 14°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,849 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 903 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft flown for this flight was an Airbus A320. As the plane began its journey, it taxied from the parking area to the runway, taking 13 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll from runway 27 at LEZL Sevilla Airport took off, with a takeoff distance of 4,266 feet, which was 39% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 159 knots.
The local weather at the time of takeoff was characterized by a temperature of 89°F and a light wind of 6 knots blowing at 219 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, and the headwind component was also 4 knots. As the plane began its ascent, it started climbing from an altitude of 1,072 feet above sea level to 26,080 feet, an increase of 25,008 feet, over a distance of 55 nautical miles in 10 minutes.
After the initial climb, the plane transitioned to a level cruise at an altitude of 26,080 feet. During this phase, the plane was traveling 1 mile south east of Fuente Obejuna (Andalusia, Spain) for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 37 nautical miles. However, this phase was short-lived as the plane soon started its descent.
The descent began 7 miles east of Penalsordo (Extremadura, Spain), where the plane descended from 26,083 feet above sea level to 3,154 feet, a decrease of 22,928 feet, over a distance of 120 nautical miles in 26 minutes. The final approach to the runway 32R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport was made from the south east, heading 322.0 degrees, and was at an altitude of 1,194 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the plane touched down on runway 32R, which had a length of 9,849 feet. The threshold speed was 134 knots, and the touchdown distance was 908 feet, which was 35% of the runway length. While the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly higher than desired, the touchdown rate of 233 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather at the time of landing was characterized by a temperature of 77°F and a light wind of 2 knots blowing at 210 degrees, with a very minimal tailwind component of 1 knot.
In terms of performance, the plane had good threshold height and a well-aligned runway touchdown. However, the rollout alignment after landing was misaligned by 58 feet from the centerline. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 11 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Overall, the total flight distance was 222 nautical miles, and the flight used 4,708 pounds of fuel, lasting a total of 63 minutes.
The Airbus A320 touched down on runway 32R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport with a score of 93.0%. The final approach was executed from the south east, heading 322.0 ° at 4 nautical miles and 1,194 feet above ground level. This approach resulted in a good threshold height, signifying that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway.
Upon landing, the threshold speed of 134 knots was well within the acceptable range, ensuring a smooth and controlled touchdown. The touchdown distance of 908 feet was also within the desired limits, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control and land the aircraft safely. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly higher than recommended, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -233 feet per minute.
One area for improvement was observed during the runway rollout, where the alignment was found to be misaligned by 58 feet from the centreline. This may not have had a significant impact on the overall safety of the landing, but it does highlight the need for the pilot to pay closer attention to the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 77 °F and wind speeds of 2 knots at 210 °, resulting in a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance of 3,449 feet was 35% of the runway length, which is generally considered to be within acceptable limits. Overall, while there were some minor deviations from the desired performance, the landing was considered to be successful with a score of 93.0%.
