It’s a very common tense and it’s not so difficult to understand. Past simple forms can be regular (with ‘ed’ at the end) or irregular. Be careful with the forms of irregular verbs in the past simple and check for their forms.
We use the past simple most often with finished actions in the past. They are ‘finished’ in the sense that they are completed and don’t have a connection to the present.
eg I arrived at the airport at 1:45pm.
eg We landed ten minutes late yesterday afternoon.
We can use the past simple to talk about our experiences, things we did, saw or read about etc…
Have a look at the diagram below to learn about uses of the past simple.

An A320 taxied towards the runway for takeoff. Their taxi instructions led them to join the runway via a taxiway which gave them only 60% of the available runway for takeoff. The crew however, had configured the plane for takeoff using 100% of the runway length. As they rolled for takeoff they were unable to achieve the performance necessary due to the reduced runway available, but fortunately they were able to takeoff without incident and completed a safe flight after that. The aviation authority is investigating what happened.
