Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.6° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 2.9° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,344 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 395 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 Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 14L, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,415 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 164 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 50°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south of Blagnac, France, and ascended from an initial altitude of 1,555 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 34,229 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,674 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 158 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 1 mile southwest of Adriers, France, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started overhead La Celle-Guenand, France, and the aircraft descended from a maximum altitude of 34,572 feet above sea level to an altitude of 1,579 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,992 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 119 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 06 at Paris-Orly Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 62.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 06 at Paris-Orly Airport, which had a length of 3,344 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 135 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 397 meters, although the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -316 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 18°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 40°.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 326 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 62 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,786 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 62.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 06, which has a length of 3,344 meters.
The threshold height at 60 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing height. However, the threshold speed was well within the acceptable range at 135 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 397 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
Despite a slightly fast touchdown speed of 133 knots, the aircraft was able to maintain a firm touchdown rate of -316 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's descent and speed effectively, ensuring a safe and controlled touchdown. 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 18°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 40°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 999 meters was 30% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely on the runway. The high score of 98.3% reflects the pilot's skill and experience in executing a safe and controlled landing.
