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.
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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 1,557 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,557 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 278 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Albany International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 10, it initiated its departure roll, utilizing 93% of the available runway length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 156 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6°C.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it passed overhead Latham, New York, and continued its ascent to 35,931 feet above sea level, a gain of 34,875 feet in 22 minutes. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which began overhead Solberg-Hunterdon Readington, New Jersey, and lasted for 82 minutes, covering a distance of 561 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its descent, starting 7 miles northeast of Homer, Georgia, and decreasing its altitude from 36,015 feet to 2,905 feet in 17 minutes. A brief level cruise phase followed, lasting 5 minutes and covering 16 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08L at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 90.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,331 feet above ground level.
The Airbus A320 landed on runway 08L, utilizing 54% of the available runway length, with a touchdown distance of 280 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly above the recommended threshold speed, at 136 knots, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -551 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.1 meters. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 825 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 5,710 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The aircraft touched down on runway 08L at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 139 kt was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the touchdown speed of 136 kt was slightly above the optimal range, contributing to a hard touchdown rate of -551 fpm.
The aircraft's touchdown distance of 280 m was satisfactory, but the slightly fast touchdown speed and hard touchdown rate resulted in a slightly longer than ideal rollout. The runway touchdown position was 7.5 m off-centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and a gentle tailwind of 3 kt, did not pose significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,473 m, accounting for 54% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was 16.1 m off-centreline, indicating a need for improvement in the pilot's ability to maintain alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 89.8%, reflecting a good but not exceptional execution of the landing.
