Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 12°, 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 1,550 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 384 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London Heathrow Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey on runway 09R, taking off with a liftoff speed of 158 kt. The takeoff distance of 1,598 m, which covered 48% of the runway, was achieved in a relatively short period. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 10 °C and a gentle headwind of 6 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began to ascend from 1,064 ft asl to 25,822 ft asl, an increase of 24,758 ft in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nm. The climb phase was initiated overhead Feltham, Greater London, and continued until the aircraft reached its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise phase, which lasted 3 minutes, saw the aircraft maintain a steady altitude of 25,822 ft asl while covering 22 nm. The descent phase, which began 4 miles south west of Freshwater, Isle of Wight, involved a significant decrease in altitude, from 25,587 ft asl to 1,709 ft asl, in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nm.
The final approach to runway 08 at Jersey Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 84.0° at 4 nm and 1,420 ft agl. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 128 kt, and a touchdown distance of 384 m, which was 53% of the runway length. Although the touchdown speed of 122 kt was slightly above the recommended value, the touchdown rate of -317 fpm was firm. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.7 m from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.4 m from the centreline. The total landing distance was 819 m, and the total flight distance was 176 nm, with a total flight time of 36 minutes and a fuel consumption of 1,794 kg.
The final approach to runway 08 at EGJJ Jersey Airport from the west was conducted at a heading of 84.0°, with the aircraft established at 4 nm and 1,420 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 128 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 122 kt, slightly above the ideal touchdown speed, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -317 fpm.
The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a touchdown distance of 384 m, which was within the acceptable range. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.7 m from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9 °C and a headwind of 11 kt, contributed to the overall performance of the landing. The total landing distance of 819 m, which accounted for 53% of the runway length, was also within the acceptable range.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft remained slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.4 m, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path. Despite this, the overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 95.3%. The landing was considered safe and within the acceptable parameters, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a reasonable distance from the threshold.
