Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.8°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 3,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 525 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, taking 13 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 05, with a takeoff distance of 1,573 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -6°C, with a wind speed of 17 knots at 339 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Toronto, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of the airport and reaching an altitude of 36,010 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 103 nautical miles, took 18 minutes and involved an increase of 34,140 feet in altitude. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 11 miles west of Wiarton Airport, and lasted for 102 minutes, covering a distance of 624 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 4 miles northeast of the Northwest Angle Airport in the United States, and the aircraft descended from 36,013 feet to 6,131 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,883 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 86 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 3 miles east of Winnipeg, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final descent started 3 miles southwest of Winnipeg/St. Andrews Airport, and the aircraft descended from 5,540 feet to 3,012 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,528 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 6 miles southeast of Stonewall, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 191.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,589 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 18, which had a length of 3,357 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 136 knots.
The touchdown point was 98 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -188 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 -14°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 180 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,241 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 843 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 163 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 5,879 kilograms.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) with a score of 97.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 191.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,589 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 18, which has a length of 3,357 meters.
The aircraft touched down 98 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal spot. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was a bit fast, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were quite cold, with a temperature of -14°C. The wind was blowing at 18 knots from a direction of 180°, resulting in a headwind of 18 knots and a crosswind of 3 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilots were able to maintain a very good runway touchdown alignment, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
The total landing distance of 1,241 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilots were able to slow down the aircraft quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated good skills and judgment in navigating the challenging weather conditions. However, there is still room for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and distance.
