Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 19 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 19 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 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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,350 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 348 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 took off from runway 04 at LaGuardia Airport, covering less than 1 nm in 5 minutes. The departure roll was executed at a takeoff distance of 1,073 m, which was 50% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 152 kt. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff presented a temperature of 3 °C and a wind speed of 26 kt at 329 °, resulting in a crosswind of 23 kt and a headwind of 12 kt.
As the aircraft began its enroute climb, it departed from College Point, New York, and reached a height of 28,411 ft. The climb from 1,033 ft asl to 28,411 ft asl took 12 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nm. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started over West Torrington, Connecticut, and lasted for 21 minutes, covering 131 nm.
The enroute descent phase began 2 miles north of Crown Point, New York, and consisted of a descent from 28,105 ft asl to 3,829 ft asl, a decrease of 24,276 ft in 20 minutes, covering 88 nm. The descent phase was followed by a brief level cruise phase over Brossard, Quebec, Canada, which lasted 5 minutes and covered 9 nm. The final descent phase began 1 mile west of Montreal-Est, Quebec, and consisted of a descent from 2,536 ft asl to 1,295 ft asl, a decrease of 1,241 ft in 4 minutes, covering 8 nm.
Upon approaching runway 24R at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, the aircraft was heading 223.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,187 ft agl. The landing was executed on runway 24R, which had a length of 3,350 m. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 133 kt. The touchdown distance was 349 m, and the touchdown speed was 127 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -363 fpm.
The aircraft landed in the correct runway alignment, and the roll-out alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing presented a temperature of -14 °C and a wind speed of 18 kt at 280 °, resulting in a crosswind of 15 kt and a headwind of 10 kt. The total landing distance was 1,157 m, which was 35% of the runway length. The taxiing to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The total flight distance was 312 nm, which took 76 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2,492 kg of fuel throughout the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (CYUL) on runway 24R, achieving a score of 97.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northeast, heading 223.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,187 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed on the runway with a threshold height that was satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 133 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing conditions. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 349 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing.
The touchdown speed of 127 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the firm touchdown rate of -363 feet per minute (fpm). A firm touchdown rate can be a concern, as it may indicate that the aircraft is touching down with too much force, which can lead to a bumpy ride and potential damage to the aircraft. However, in this case, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway and able to maintain control during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were cold, with a temperature of -14°C, and a moderate wind of 18 knots from 280°. The crosswind component was 15 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,157 meters was 35% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 97.7%. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing conditions, including a slightly above-target threshold speed and a firm touchdown rate. Despite these minor issues, the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing, and the pilot was able to execute a safe and successful landing.
