Smooth the climb
When Vr arrives, an abrupt near-full-scale pull, pitch overshoots, a push, and an oscillation through the first 200 ft. It feels like “this aircraft is twitchy” but the actual fault happened before liftoff. The pitch trace needs to show a clean ramp during liftoff.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks at 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 2,690 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 435 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Florence Airport, Peretola, the Airbus A319 began its journey with a taxiing period of 5 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. Runway 23 was selected for departure, and the aircraft accelerated down the 2,694-meter-long runway, achieving liftoff at a speed of 147 knots. The takeoff distance of 511 meters represented 48% of the available runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 23°C, with a gentle tailwind of 4 knots and a crosswind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Florence, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 37,929 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles. The climb phase was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with the aircraft rising by 36,834 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 61 minutes and covered 375 nautical miles. The cruise phase was initiated 1 mile south-east of Bovolone, Italy, and the aircraft maintained a steady altitude until it began its descent over Breidenbach, Germany. The descent phase was notable for its steepness, with the aircraft losing 36,546 feet in altitude in just 20 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles.
The final approach to Düsseldorf Airport was conducted from the north-east, with the aircraft aligning with runway 23L at an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 130 knots, slightly above the target value. The touchdown distance of 438 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 120 knots was a little fast. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 569 nautical miles was achieved in 1 hour and 9 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 3,963 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -301 fpm, slightly above the target rate. The touchdown speed of 120 kt was a little fast, but the aircraft maintained good control throughout the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline.
Following touchdown, the aircraft began its rollout, maintaining excellent alignment with the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,294 m was 48% of the runway length, indicating a good balance between touchdown distance and rollout performance. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 130 kt was slightly above the target, but still within acceptable limits.
The overall performance of the landing was excellent, with a score of 99.1%. The approach quality was good, with a stable and controlled descent to the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12 °C and wind at 13 kt from 170 °, presented a moderate challenge, but the crew handled it well. The crosswind of 12 kt and headwind of 6 kt were well-managed, contributing to the successful landing.
