Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 149 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 175 kt, 26 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 149 kt at liftoff

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,477 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 350 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL). The takeoff distance was 1,433 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 175 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 2°C temperature and a wind speed of 14 knots at 279 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 14 knots. After departing from London Heathrow, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Harmondsworth in Greater London, England. The climb took the aircraft from 1,145 feet above sea level to 5,470 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,324 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile northeast of Ascot in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, England, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time overhead Detling in Kent, England, where it climbed from 5,550 feet above sea level to 17,633 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,083 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 2 miles north of Dover in Kent, England, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began its enroute descent, starting 10 miles southeast of Deal in Kent, England. The descent took the aircraft from 17,714 feet above sea level to 2,706 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,008 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 2 miles north of De Haan in Flanders, Belgium, and lasting for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 26 at Oostende-Brugge International Airport (EBOS), approaching from the east at a heading of 257.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft landed on runway 26 at EBOS, which had a length of 2,477 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 142 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 353 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -379 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 3°C temperature and a wind speed of 17 knots at 300 degrees. The crosswind was 11 knots, while the headwind was 12 knots. The total landing distance was 1,243 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then began taxiing to the parking from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 159 nautical miles, and the flight took 48 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 1,671 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EBOS Oostende-Brugge International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 257.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 26, which has a length of 2,477 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 142 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother landing. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 353 meters, which is within the acceptable range.
The touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate. The aircraft's rate of descent was -379 feet per minute, which is considered firm but not excessive. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, 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 characterized by a temperature of 3°C and winds of 17 knots from 300°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing, but the pilots were able to manage them effectively.
The total landing distance was 1,243 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, showing that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline throughout the rollout phase.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at EBOS Oostende-Brugge International Airport was a success, with the aircraft performing well in a variety of conditions. The pilots' skills and experience were evident in their ability to manage the aircraft's approach and landing, resulting in a safe and efficient touchdown.
