Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 7.9 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 7.9 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 326 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 12 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 23, it was met with a local weather condition of 3°C temperature and a wind of 21 knots at 290 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 18 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,817 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway, was successfully covered, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 174 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its ascent from 1,571 feet above sea level to 34,734 feet, an increase of 33,164 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was followed by a series of level cruises and descents, with the aircraft maintaining a speed of around 400 knots during the 58-minute cruise phase that covered 408 nautical miles. The final descent phase, which began 3 miles east of Cherokee, North Carolina, saw the aircraft descend from 34,534 feet to 4,801 feet in 27 minutes, covering 144 nautical miles.
The Airbus A320 finally began its final approach to runway 08L at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, touching down at a speed of 140 knots and a distance of 328 meters. The touchdown rate was slightly higher than expected at -524 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 11 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 688 nautical miles was completed in 127 minutes, with the aircraft using 4,378 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 08L at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 140 kt was slightly above the target, which may have contributed to the relatively fast touchdown speed of 140 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 328 m was within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed flare.
The touchdown rate of -524 fpm was very hard, which may have been a result of the slightly high threshold speed. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill in maintaining control of the aircraft during the critical phases of flight. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17 °C and a headwind of 12 kt, were favorable for the landing, and the aircraft's performance was not significantly impacted by the wind.
The total landing distance of 1,384 m was 51% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 94.7%. The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and control during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases was evident, and the landing was executed with precision and skill.
