Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 1,747 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,747 m of the 3,344 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 486 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 26 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,034 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 1 °C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 280°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile north of Birgitz in Tirol, Austria, at an altitude of 2,940 feet above sea level. The climb continued to an altitude of 35,587 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,647 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 2 miles southeast of Friedenweiler in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 138 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 1 mile northwest of Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises in Grand Est, France, and descended from an altitude of 35,932 feet above sea level to 1,566 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,366 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24 at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport was made from the northeast, heading 243.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,271 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24 at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 78 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -198 feet per minute, also good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 10 °C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 210°.
The total landing distance was 1,675 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 374 nautical miles, taking 76 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,421 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 24 was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft heading 243.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed with precision, with the threshold height being well within acceptable limits. The threshold speed of 142 knots was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. Upon touchdown, the aircraft came to rest 78 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -198 feet per minute was well within the desired parameters.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which had a negligible impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,675 meters was 50% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within the designated area. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the landing was a textbook example of safe and efficient flight operations, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skills and adherence to standard procedures.
