Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 7.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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 1,995 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 299 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 01R at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, with a takeoff distance of 1,492 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 68 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Gardermoen, and climbed from an altitude of 1,716 feet above sea level to 27,616 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,900 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 83 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 6 miles south west of Rjukan, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 16 miles north of Dalen, and descended from an altitude of 27,392 feet above sea level to 2,208 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,184 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 95 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 9 miles north west of Haugesund, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 13 at ENHD Haugesund Airport, Karmøy, was made from the north west, with a heading of 134.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 13 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 298 meters, which was good, and a touchdown speed of 140 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -555 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.5 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 156 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 999 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centreline. The aircraft then taxiied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 202 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 47 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2,290 kilograms.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Haugesund Airport, Karmøy, with a score of 92.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 134.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 142 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate. The touchdown rate of -555 feet per minute (fpm) was very hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a higher than optimal rate of descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 156°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's alignment issues.
The total landing distance of 999 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's initial touchdown position and the subsequent braking action.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to the touchdown speed and rate, as well as the alignment issues during the final approach and rollout.
