Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 7.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,547 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 687 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 10L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport. The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,098 meters, which is 31% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 163 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport. The climb started at an altitude of 3,488 feet above sea level and reached 4,236 feet above sea level, an increase of 748 feet, in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
Later, the aircraft began its enroute descent 2 miles northwest of SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport. The descent started at an altitude of 4,237 feet above sea level and reached 2,905 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,332 feet, in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport was made from the west, heading 74.0° at 1 nautical mile and 452 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which has a length of 3,547 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 118 knots.
The touchdown point was 260 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 107 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -217 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind.
The total landing distance was 1,412 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used 239 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, achieving a score of 93.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 74.0° at 1 nautical mile and 452 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good threshold height and speed, reaching 118 knots at the threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 260 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 107 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -217 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 9.0 meters, which may have contributed to the slightly off-center touchdown.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,412 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.9 meters.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving good speeds and a relatively short landing distance. However, the slight misalignment of the touchdown and rollout positions may require attention to ensure future landings are more precise.
