Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 5.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 36 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 36 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 36 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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 3,002 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 549 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the Airbus A320 began its journey on runway 18L, taking off with a liftoff speed of 154 kt. The aircraft utilized 47% of the 1,330 m runway, taking advantage of the favorable headwind of 20 kt. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 11 °C and a wind speed of 21 kt from 170°.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it started 1 mile northeast of Aalsmeerderbrug, Netherlands, and reached 36,473 ft asl in 19 minutes, covering 109 nm. The climb was a significant 35,501 ft, demonstrating the aircraft's efficient performance. The enroute level cruise phase, which began overhead Brugelette, Belgium, lasted 78 minutes and covered 579 nm. The aircraft then commenced its descent 2 miles southeast of San Pedro Manrique, Spain, and landed on runway 32R at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport after a decrease of 33,741 ft in 24 minutes, covering 137 nm.
The final approach to runway 32R was conducted from the southeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 322.0° at 4 nm and 1,297 ft agl. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 133 kt, but the touchdown speed of 126 kt was slightly above the optimal value. The touchdown point was 129 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.9 m from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,394 m, utilizing 46% of the 3,002 m runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering 3 nm in 12 minutes. The total flight distance was 834 nm, with a flight time of 144 minutes and a fuel consumption of 4,813 kg.
The aircraft touched down on runway 32R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport with a threshold speed of 133 kt, meeting the required standard. The touchdown point was located 129 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. The touchdown speed of 126 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -110 fpm was smooth, suggesting a well-executed flare.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.9 m from the centreline, which was a minor deviation from the desired alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10 °C and a light wind of 10 kt at 0 °, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The crosswind component of 6 kt and headwind component of 8 kt were also relatively minor, allowing for a stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,394 m was 46% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.8 m from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path. Overall, the landing was executed well, with a score of 93.2% reflecting the minor deviations from the desired standards.
