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 2.7°.
What happened: The wings held 2.7° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 1.4° 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.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

3 landings
The flight is kept as it was recorded: it ends when the engine is shut down, so a landing with the rotors turning is a stop along the way, not a new flight.

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 2,135 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 505 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at MMGL Guadalajara International Airport, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 29, with a takeoff distance of 2,475 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 33 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 10 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from Guadalajara, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile west of the airport and reached an altitude of 34,022 feet above sea level. The climb covered a distance of 128 nautical miles and took 19 minutes, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 27,998 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead MMAS Aeropuerto Internacional Jesús Terán Peredo Aguascalientes in Mexico. This phase lasted for 202 minutes and covered a distance of 1,730 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles south of MD82 Ragged Island Airport in Cambridge, Maryland. The descent covered a distance of 171 nautical miles and took 29 minutes, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude by 31,796 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Kensington in New York and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 04 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 32.0 degrees and flying at an altitude of 1,343 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 2,135 meters.
The landing was successful, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 137 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 129 knots, and the touchdown point was 82 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown rate was good at -189 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 329 degrees, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,224 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,043 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 266 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 9,938 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LaGuardia Airport's runway 04, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 32.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,343 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 137 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have resulted in a slightly longer landing distance. The touchdown rate of -189 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is essential for a smooth landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 329°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not significantly impact the landing, and the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft.
The total landing distance of 1,224 meters was 57% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
