Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 11 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 4.9° of bank in the first climb segment and 2.4° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,142 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 487 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 A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, taking 11 minutes to cover a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 27R, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 173 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 24 knots at a direction of 319 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 19 knots and a headwind of 16 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to a height of 35,441 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 140 nautical miles and took 21 minutes to complete, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 33,427 feet. The enroute level cruise phase followed, during which the aircraft flew at a steady altitude for 136 minutes, covering a distance of 558 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 1 mile north-east of Roosevelt, New Jersey, and took the aircraft down from a height of 34,984 feet to 1,276 feet above sea level. This descent phase covered a distance of 101 nautical miles and took 19 minutes to complete, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude by 33,708 feet. The final approach to runway 04R at Newark Liberty International Airport was made from the south-west, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 26.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 04R was successful, with the aircraft touching down 67 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -263 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 characterized by a temperature of -7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 17 knots at a direction of 310 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,151 meters, which was 54% of the runway length. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 6 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 809 nautical miles, taking 127 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 4,718 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 04R at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport, achieving a score of 97.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 26.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 132 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -263 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the descent more efficiently.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -7°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from 310°. The crosswind component was 16 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge to the pilot, but they were able to manage the aircraft effectively.
The total landing distance of 1,151 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing, allowing the aircraft to touch down smoothly and quickly. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and precision. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and descent rate, which could be addressed through additional training and practice.
