Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 15°, 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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,067 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,067 m of the 3,658 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 446 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 09L at Kempegowda International Airport in Bangalore, India. The takeoff distance was 2,145 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 165 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Kempegowda International Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north east of the airport. The climb took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 33 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,184 meters above sea level to 5,180 meters above sea level, an increase of 3,996.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles west of Mulbagal, India. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 41 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 6 miles north east of Pallikondai, India, and descended from an altitude of 5,183 meters above sea level to 806 meters above sea level, a decrease of 4,376.6 meters, in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles south west of Sriperumbudur, India, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 4 miles north west of Vandalur, India, and descended from an altitude of 692 meters above sea level to 389 meters above sea level, a decrease of 303.7 meters, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at Chennai International Airport was made from the south west, with the aircraft heading at 69.0 degrees at an altitude of 369.4 meters above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 07, which had a length of 3,658 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 145 knots.
The touchdown distance was 448 meters, and the touchdown speed was 140 knots, both of which were good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -1.4 meters per second. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius.
The total landing distance was 1,984 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.6 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 147 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 47 minutes. The aircraft used 1,505 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at VOMM Chennai International Airport, achieving a score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 69.0° at an altitude of 369.4 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 07, which has a length of 3,658 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 145 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the final approach.
The touchdown distance of 448 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 140 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate of -1.4 meters per second was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C. The total landing distance of 1,984 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
However, there was a slight issue with the runway rollout alignment, as the aircraft was 10.6 meters off-centerline after touchdown. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the aircraft during the landing was impressive, and the pilot's skills were demonstrated through the successful execution of the landing.
