Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,100 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 247 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Houari Boumediene Airport (DAAG), the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 05, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 158 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,591 meters accounted for 46% of the runway length, with a local temperature of 16°C and a headwind of 7 knots contributing to the aircraft's performance.
Following a smooth takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile southwest of Rouiba, Algeria. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 1,004 feet above sea level to 36,009 feet, an increase of 35,005 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 136 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 15 miles southeast of La Savina, Spain, and lasted for 47 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 322 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it initiated its enroute descent, which started 2 miles northeast of Tournecoupe, France. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease in altitude from 36,010 feet to 1,862 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
Upon reaching Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport (LFBD), the aircraft began its final approach to runway 05 from the southwest, heading 47.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,683 feet above ground level. However, the crew decided to execute a go-around at 1,639 feet agl. The aircraft subsequently landed on runway 05, with a touchdown distance of 246 meters and a touchdown speed of 138 knots, slightly above the target speed. The total landing distance of 973 meters accounted for 31% of the runway length, with a runway touchdown alignment that was perfect. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 626 nautical miles was achieved in 1 hour and 18 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 4,725 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 05 at LFBD Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed was slightly above the target, reaching 139 kt, but the touchdown distance of 246 m was well within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 138 kt was a little fast, and the resulting touchdown rate of -574 fpm was very hard, indicating a slight loss of control during the touchdown phase.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a relatively stable approach. The crosswind of 4 kt from the right was well within manageable limits, and the pilot's skill in handling the aircraft during the approach and touchdown phases was evident.
The total landing distance of 973 m, which accounted for 31% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 95.1% reflecting the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
