Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 3,344 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 434 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Newark Liberty International Airport, the Airbus A350-900 began its journey with a taxiing period of 7 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 04L, utilizing 1,003 meters, or 47% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 156 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 290°, resulting in a crosswind component of 18 knots and a tailwind component of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it first leveled off at 38,997 feet above sea level, having ascended 37,960 feet in 14 minutes and covered 291 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted 20 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 782 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated a climb to a higher altitude, reaching 40,009 feet above sea level in 2 minutes and covering 63 nautical miles. The subsequent level cruise phase lasted 49 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 1,869 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, first from 40,997 feet above sea level to 11,037 feet above sea level in 9 minutes and covering 160 nautical miles. The final descent phase saw the aircraft touch down on runway 24 at Paris-Orly Airport, with a touchdown distance of 434 meters and a touchdown speed of 134 knots.
The landing was executed with a firm touchdown rate of -353 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,439 meters, or 43% of the runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering 2 nautical miles in 4 minutes. The total flight distance was 3,250 nautical miles, and the aircraft utilized 33,841 kilograms of fuel during the 115-minute flight.
The aircraft touched down on runway 24 at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -353 fpm, slightly above the target rate. The touchdown speed of 134 kt was a little fast, but the aircraft maintained good control throughout the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline.
The approach quality was good, with a steady descent rate and a smooth transition to the flare. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 136 kt was slightly above the target. The touchdown distance of 434 m was within the acceptable range, and the aircraft rolled out quickly, covering a total distance of 1,439 m, which was 43% of the runway length. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10 °C and a headwind of 11 kt, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. The overall landing performance was excellent, with a score of 98.2%. The slight deviations from the target touchdown speed and threshold speed did not significantly impact the overall performance, and the aircraft demonstrated good control and stability throughout the landing.
