Smooth the climb
Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,290 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 436 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Airbus A320 began with a 32-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at RPVM Lapu Lapu/Mactan-Cebu Intl. The departure took place on runway 04, with a takeoff distance of 1,381 meters, covering 42% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 145 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 15°C with a 1 knot wind coming from 270°, resulting in minimal crosswind and tailwind conditions.
The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of RPVM Lapu Lapu/Mactan-Cebu Intl, climbing from 1,072 feet above sea level to 2,580 feet above sea level in 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The level cruise portion of the flight commenced 3 miles southeast of Liloan and lasted 4 minutes, covering 9 nm.
The landing took place back at RPVM Lapu Lapu/Mactan-Cebu Intl on runway 04, which has a length of 3,290 meters. The height at the threshold was 46 feet above ground level, and the speed at the threshold was 140 knots. The touchdown occurred 436 meters from the threshold at a speed of 133 knots with a vertical speed indicator showing -88 ft/min. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 17°C with a 1 knot wind from 270°, resulting in minimal crosswind and tailwind factors.
The total flight distance flown was 20 nautical miles, taking a total of 46 minutes. The aircraft used 499 kg of fuel throughout the duration of the flight.
Great job on achieving a high aircraft landing score of 99.3%! Let's break down your performance in each phase of the landing process to see what went right and where there is room for improvement.
Starting with the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent. This indicates that you were able to maintain the correct vertical descent angle, leading to a smooth and controlled approach towards the runway. By maintaining proper alignment, you ensured a stable and safe descent.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, your threshold height was good, meaning you initiated the landing flare at the right moment to ensure a smooth touchdown. The landing flare is crucial in reducing the rate of descent and allowing for a gentle touchdown. Your perfect landing flare indicates a high level of skill and precision in executing this critical phase of the landing process.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. While your speed was slightly above target, it did not significantly impact your overall performance. Additionally, your touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone is impressive, as it shows your ability to consistently land within a specific area, ensuring safety and efficiency.
Lastly, the runway touchdown position being 6.7 meters from the centerline is within an acceptable range and shows good alignment during touchdown. Maintaining proper alignment with the runway centerline is essential for safe and precise landings.
Overall, your performance in the different phases of the landing process is commendable, with areas of excellence and minor areas for improvement. Keep up the great work and continue to strive for precision and consistency in your landings. With dedication and practice, you can further enhance your skills and achieve even higher scores in future landings. Well done on your impressive 99.3% landing score!
