Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6.8°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 2,806 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 135 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 15 at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,262 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Vantaa, rising from an altitude of 1,144 feet above sea level to 10,148 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,003 feet, in just 4 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles south of Lauttasaari and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 7 miles northwest of Valkla, Estonia, and descended from 9,776 feet above sea level to 2,754 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,023 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 1 mile southwest of Kostivere, Estonia, and lasting for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26 at EETN Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport was made from the east, heading 271.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,208 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 26 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 134 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The threshold speed was good at 135 knots, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -114 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 200 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,130 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 67 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 33 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 1,501 kilograms.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EETN Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach to runway 26 from the east, heading 271.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,208 feet above ground level (agl), showcased precise control and navigation skills.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 135 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 134 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly above the optimal range, suggesting a minor adjustment in the approach speed could have resulted in a smoother touchdown.
The aircraft's descent rate was smooth, with a rate of -114 feet per minute, which is indicative of a well-controlled approach. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to accurately navigate the aircraft onto the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 200°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing, resulting in a total landing distance of 1,130 meters, which is approximately 40% of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and skill, resulting in a score of 99.2%.
