Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 7.8°, 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 1,550 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 317 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at London Luton Airport (EGGW). This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 25, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 995 meters, which was 48% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 143 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 209 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was also 4 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Luton, England, where the aircraft ascended from 1,435 feet above sea level to 28,154 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,719 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 53 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Micheldever, Hampshire, England, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 25 miles north of Saint-Germain-des-Vaux, Normandie, France, where it descended from 28,068 feet above sea level to 1,987 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,081 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 62 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 8 miles southwest of EGJJ Jersey Airport, Saint Helier, Saint Peter, Jersey, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08 at EGJJ Jersey Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at 83.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 08 at EGJJ Jersey Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 120 knots and a touchdown distance of 319 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -391 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 30 degrees, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,190 meters, which was 77% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 193 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 48 minutes. The aircraft used 1,807 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at EGJJ Jersey Airport, achieving a high score of 97.2%. The final approach to runway 08 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 125 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 319 meters, which is within the expected range. The touchdown speed was also good at 120 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -391 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates a controlled descent and a smooth touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 30°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the landing, and the aircraft handled them well.
The total landing distance was 1,190 meters, which is 77% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and the pilot made effective use of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well in a variety of conditions. The pilot's skills and attention to detail were evident throughout the approach and landing phases, resulting in a high-scoring landing.
