Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 4.3°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,602 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 469 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 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 08 at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI), with a takeoff distance of 1,489 meters, which accounted for 79% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 243 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 6 knots. After departing from Innsbruck, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the city. The climb took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 73 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 2,922 feet above sea level to 29,006 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,084 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nautical miles. This phase took place 1 mile south of Salzburg, Austria. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile southeast of Schoerfling, Austria. The descent took 34 minutes and covered a distance of 118 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 28,994 feet above sea level to 2,015 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,980 feet.
As the aircraft approached Vienna International Airport (LOWW), it began its final approach to runway 16 from the north, heading 164.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,415 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at 130 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 16, which had a length of 3,602 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 knots. The touchdown point was 49 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -166 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 226 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 65 minutes. The aircraft used 2,437 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) on runway 16, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 164.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,415 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 138 kt, registering at 139 kt. However, the touchdown point was 49 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path. The touchdown speed of 132 kt was also a bit faster than the target speed, but the touchdown rate of -166 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -4°C and a wind speed of 10 kt from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was 6 kt, while the headwind component was 8 kt. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 1,408 meters was 39% 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 maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 98.5%.
