Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 8.2°.
What happened: The wings held 8.2° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 8.2° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,545 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,545 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 484 m touchdown sits inside 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 Dortmund Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 24, with a takeoff distance of 1,108 meters, which was 79% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 1°C temperature and a wind speed of 16 knots at 190 degrees. The crosswind was 12 knots, and the headwind was 10 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of Holzwickede, Germany, and reached an altitude of 32,622 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,113 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 110 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead EDVP Eddesse Peine, Germany, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent phase, starting 1 mile west of Osloss, Germany, and descending from 32,619 feet to 11,105 feet in 10 minutes, covering 80 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile north-west of Nauen, Germany, and lasting 7 minutes, covering 35 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent phase, starting 1 mile east of EDBW Werneuchen Airfield, Germany, and descending from 10,955 feet to 7,421 feet in 3 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles north-east of Buckow, Germany, and lasting 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent phase, starting 2 miles west of Seelow, Germany, and descending from 7,080 feet to 3,837 feet in 3 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 4 miles south-east of Rehfelde, Germany, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent phase, starting overhead Erkner, Germany, and descending from 3,561 feet to 1,438 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24L at Berlin Brandenburg Airport was from the east, heading 249.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at 206 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 24L, with a touchdown point 69 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was good at -165 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,465 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -4°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 179 degrees, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 299 nautical miles, taking 81 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,173 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 24L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, achieving a score of 95.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 249.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold speed of 139 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, located 69 meters past the threshold. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was a bit faster than the ideal speed, which could have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance. The touchdown rate of -165 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -4°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 179°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not significantly impact the landing, as the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,465 meters was 37% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal path.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown, which could be addressed through further training and practice to improve the pilot's skills and performance.
