Smooth the climb

See Departure Climb 1

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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 05, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,373 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 166 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 30 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Machico in Madeira, Portugal. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,144 feet above sea level to 4,089 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,945 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started 8 miles south east of Canical in Madeira, Portugal, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 14 miles south of Porto Santo Airport Vila Baleira in Madeira, Portugal. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 4,095 feet above sea level to 36,781 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,686 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 136 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise then continued for a significant period, lasting 155 minutes and covering a distance of 1,111 nautical miles. The aircraft was flying at a specific location, defined by latitude 35.0527825 and longitude -15.7233917. The enroute descent then started overhead the town of Bishopston in the City and County of Swansea, Wales. During this descent, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,969 feet above sea level to 1,951 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,018 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 101 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began another enroute level cruise, this time starting 1 mile north west of Warwick in Warwickshire, England, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 33 at Birmingham International Airport was then initiated, with the aircraft flying from the south east, heading 326.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing took place on runway 33, which had a length of 2,317 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 139 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 216 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -256 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,265 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then began taxiing to the parking area, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,385 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 207 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,953 kilograms of fuel during

Landing on runway 33 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport in the Airbus A320neo
Landing Score 99.62 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EGBB Birmingham International Airport, achieving a score of 99.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 326.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 33, which has a length of 2,317 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 138 kt, coming in at 139 kt. Despite this minor deviation, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 216 meters. The touchdown speed of 134 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -256 feet per minute (fpm) was fair.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 11 kt from 260°. The crosswind component was 10 kt, while the headwind component was 4 kt. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, as the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The total landing distance was 1,265 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft touched down and came to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.

Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft came to a safe stop on the runway. The minor deviations from the target speeds and rates did not appear to have a significant impact on the safety of the landing.
