Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,501 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 423 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport, a process that took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 20, with the aircraft taking off after covering 47% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,135 meters, and the liftoff speed was 146 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots blowing from a direction of 182°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered a series of enroute climbs and level cruises.
The first enroute climb started overhead Paray-Vieille-Poste, where the aircraft climbed from 1,300 feet above sea level to 9,735 feet, an increase of 8,435 feet in just 3 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 2 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying 1 mile east of Saint-Maurice-Montcouronne.
The second enroute climb began 1 mile southwest of Brieres-les-Scelles, where the aircraft climbed from 10,841 feet to 31,353 feet, an increase of 20,512 feet in 9 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 55 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 18 minutes and covered 119 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying 3 miles south of Clemont.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 32,116 feet to 1,783 feet, a decrease of 30,333 feet in 24 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 113 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 14R at LFBO Toulouse-Blagnac Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 143.0° and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 14R was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 121 knots and a distance of 423 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -303 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 13°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots blowing from a direction of 170°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 316 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 72 minutes. The aircraft used 2,290 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, achieving a score of 97.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 143.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a clear understanding of the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 13°C, a wind speed of 5 knots at 170°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 4-knot headwind.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 14R, which has a length of 3,501 meters. The threshold height at 61 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired at the point of touchdown. However, the threshold speed of 126 knots was only slightly above the target, suggesting that the pilots maintained a good control over the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown distance of 423 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilots successfully managed the aircraft's speed and altitude during the final approach. However, the touchdown speed of 121 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the firm touchdown rate of -303 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained a precise control over the aircraft's trajectory.
The total landing distance of 1,002 meters was 29% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilots successfully managed the aircraft's deceleration and maintained a stable alignment with the runway.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 97.3%. The pilots demonstrated a good understanding of the local weather conditions and successfully managed the aircraft's descent, speed, and alignment during the final approach and touchdown.
