Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 5.3 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 5.3 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

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 3,501 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 412 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 07, with a takeoff distance of 1,247 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 170 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots at 39 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Villeneuve-le-Roi, located in the Ile-de-France region of France. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,318 feet above sea level to 33,270 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,952 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 162 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles northwest of Saint-Georges-la-Pouge, located in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 42 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead Lubersac, also located in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 33,271 feet above sea level to 1,781 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,490 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 104 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14R at LFBO Toulouse-Blagnac Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 143.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 14R, which had a length of 3,501 meters. The threshold height at 57 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 413 meters, but the touchdown speed at 132 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -284 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 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 225 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,043 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 316 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 58 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,814 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 14R at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (LFBO) with a score of 99.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 143.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with precision, with the threshold height at 57 feet agl being slightly above the target. However, the threshold speed was good at 134 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 413 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude.
Despite a slightly fast touchdown speed of 132 knots, the overall performance of the aircraft was impressive. The touchdown rate of -284 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, but not excessively high. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 225°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,043 meters was only 30% of the runway length, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to stop quickly and efficiently.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline after touchdown. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well in terms of speed, altitude, and alignment.
