Improve the takeoff
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.
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 full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 260 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 London Heathrow Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 09R, with a takeoff distance of 1,474 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 149 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile north of Feltham, Greater London, England, and ascended from an altitude of 1,094 feet above sea level to 32,152 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,058 feet, in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began overhead Parwich, Derbyshire, England, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile northeast of Litherland, Sefton, England, and the aircraft descended from 31,992 feet above sea level to 1,329 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,663 feet, in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26 at the Isle of Man Airport was made from the east, heading 258.0 degrees, at an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level, and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 26 at the Isle of Man Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 259 meters, which was 75% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, and the touchdown rate was -197 feet per minute. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline, the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 17 knots at 221 degrees.
The total flight distance was 230 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 53 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2,283 kilograms. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EGNS Isle of Man Airport, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 131 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 259 meters, which is within the expected range. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -197 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable limits, demonstrating a safe and stable landing.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 6.4 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error, but it did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from 221°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft, ensuring a safe and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,138 meters was 75% of the available runway length, which is a good indication of the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and descent rate. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at EGNS Isle of Man Airport was a success, with the pilot achieving a high score of 98.3%. The aircraft's performance was well within the acceptable limits, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the landing phase.
