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 2.4°.
What happened: The wings held 2.4° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 2.2° 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.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 3,989 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 Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Düsseldorf Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 05L, with a takeoff distance of 1,550 meters, which was 74% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 13°C and wind blowing at 26 knots from a direction of 220°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 25 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Ratingen, Germany, and climbing from an altitude of 1,126 feet above sea level to 21,340 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,214 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 54 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles southeast of Blankenheim, Germany, and the aircraft descended from 20,543 feet above sea level to 3,435 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,109 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 41 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile west of Langsur, Germany, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 24 at Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, coming in from the northeast at a heading of 235.0°, 4 nautical miles from the runway and at an altitude of 1,374 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 24, which was 3,989 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was good at 129 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 317 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 124 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -469 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 9°C and wind blowing at 18 knots from a direction of 240°, with a crosswind component of 0 knots and a headwind component of 18 knots. The total landing distance was 895 meters, which was 22% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 109 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 24 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -1,946 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, achieving a score of 95.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 235.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,374 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, setting the stage for a smooth touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 24, which has a length of 3,989 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 129 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 317 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and made a precise touchdown. However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a harder-than-ideal touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -469 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, which may have been a result of the slightly faster-than-desired touchdown speed. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 18 knots from 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 18 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster-than-desired touchdown speed. Despite this, the total landing distance of 895 meters was only 22% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had made a precise and controlled landing.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot achieving a high score of 95.3% despite some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown speed and rate.
