Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.

Side view — the last 1,736 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,736 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 318 m touchdown sits inside 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 Suvarnabhumi Airport, taking 9 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 01R, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 163 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 39 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 7,866 feet above sea level in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The climb started overhead Suvarnabhumi Airport, and the aircraft continued to ascend to higher altitudes, reaching a level cruise altitude of 7,873 feet above sea level 6 miles west of Bang Nam Priao. The level cruise lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, reaching an altitude of 9,885 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. This climb started 7 miles northwest of Bang Nam Priao. The aircraft continued to cruise at this altitude for a short period before beginning another climb, this time reaching an altitude of 33,852 feet above sea level in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 90 nautical miles. This climb started 2 miles east of Khlong Luang.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting for 29 minutes and covering a distance of 195 nautical miles. This cruise started 3 miles southwest of Cha-am. However, the aircraft's descent began 9 miles north of Chaiya, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 33,445 feet above sea level to 1,263 feet above sea level in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at Phuket International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at 84.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,207 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 09, which had a length of 2,996 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 136 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 321 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -340 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 360 degrees.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 440 nautical miles, taking 83 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,755 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at VTSP Phuket International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 84.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,207 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach to runway 09 was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 136 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 321 meters, which is within the expected range. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit more force during the landing. The touchdown rate of -340 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 360°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component. The total landing distance of 1,658 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with only minor deviations from the ideal performance.
