Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 14°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,013 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,737 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. With a takeoff roll on runway 05, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 160 knots, clearing the ground at 4,757 feet, which represented 45% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 25 °F, with a gentle headwind of 2 knots and a crosswind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its ascent from 1,564 feet above sea level, reaching 15,990 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. The climb continued in stages, with the aircraft reaching its maximum cruising altitude of 37,599 feet after a series of level cruises and descents. Notably, the aircraft spent 60 minutes cruising at an altitude of 38,077 feet, covering a distance of 386 nautical miles. The descent phase began as the aircraft approached its destination, with a final descent from 38,077 feet to 6,001 feet in 38 minutes, covering 151 nautical miles.
The Airbus A320 touched down on runway 36 at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots and a touchdown rate of -58 feet per minute, which was considered excellent. The aircraft landed 364 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a runway touchdown position that was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline. The total landing distance was 3,303 feet, representing 30% of the runway's length. Following a smooth taxiing process, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 826 nautical miles and consuming 14,125 pounds of fuel in the process, which took a total of 188 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 36 at CYWG Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height and speed of 136 kt. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a heading of 8.0° at 4 nm and 1,368 ft above ground level. The touchdown point was 364 ft beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -58 fpm was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 ft from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation during the final stages of the approach. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14 °F and a headwind of 4 kt, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,303 ft was 30% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 98.9%. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were well-coordinated, resulting in a smooth and controlled touchdown.
