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 4°.
What happened: The wings held 4° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 2.1° 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.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 2,480 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 518 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 Göteborg Landvetter Airport, taking approximately 9 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 21, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,310 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 21 knots at 200 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind was 21 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile southwest of Göteborg Landvetter Airport, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,332 feet above sea level to 29,570 feet, an increase of 28,238 feet in 16 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 108 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southwest of Askersund, Sweden, and lasted for 5 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 45 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 4 miles northwest of Alberga, Sweden, where the aircraft descended from 30,114 feet to 1,406 feet, a decrease of 28,708 feet in 16 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 67 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 256.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 2,480 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots.
The touchdown point was 95 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 125 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -143 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect after the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 18 knots at 250 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 18 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,013 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 228 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 49 minutes. The aircraft used 2,299 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its flight operations. The aircraft's final approach to runway 26 from the east, heading 256.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,283 feet above ground level (agl), showcased precise control and navigation skills.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 95 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 125 knots was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 134 knots. Despite this, the touchdown rate was smooth at -143 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a well-executed landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a moderate headwind of 18 knots at 250°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, which contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The runway length of 2,480 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,013 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the rollout alignment was also spot on, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport was a success, with a score of 99.2% indicating a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
