Maintain a smooth pitch
See Departure Roll
When Vr arrives, an abrupt near-full-scale pull, pitch overshoots, a push, and an oscillation through the first 200 ft. It feels like “this aircraft is twitchy” but the actual fault happened before liftoff. The pitch trace needs to show a clean ramp during liftoff.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,560 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,560 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 343 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 12 at EFKS Kuusamo Airport in 8 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 12, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 157 kt and became airborne after traveling 1,868 m, which represented 76 % of the runway length; local weather was 9 °C with a wind of 8 kt from 229°, a cross-wind component of 8 kt and a tail-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile south-east of EFKS Kuusamo Airport, where the aeroplane rose from 1,906 ft asl to 34,920 ft asl, an increase of 33,014 ft in 20 minutes while covering 124 nm; a second climb segment began 36 miles west of Rauma, raising the aircraft from 35,467 ft asl to 36,170 ft asl, an increase of 703 ft in 53 minutes and covering 380 nm.
The first cruise segment started 5 miles south-east of the Z11G Jarvitalo Highway Strip and lasted 36 minutes, during which 252 nm were flown; the subsequent cruise began 2 miles south-east of Hoerby, Sweden, lasting 40 minutes and covering 308 nm.
Descent began 1 mile south-west of Treffurt, Germany, with the aircraft descending from 36,328 ft asl to 1,641 ft asl, a loss of 34,688 ft in 27 minutes while traversing 149 nm.
On final approach to runway 25L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,353 ft agl to 47 ft agl in 101 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 25L, which is 3,986 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 138 kt; touchdown occurred 343 m down the runway at 133 kt, a rate of -162 fpm, and a lateral offset of 3.3 m from the centreline; local conditions were 8 °C, wind 3 kt from 30°, cross-wind 2 kt and tail-wind 2 kt, and the total landing distance measured 1,480 m, representing 37 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect following the touchdown.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 11 minutes, covering 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,222 nm, lasted 195 minutes, and consumed 7,185 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EFKS Kuusamo Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 12 was executed from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 133.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,296 feet above ground level.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for the approach. The threshold speed of 135 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 311 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown speed of 128 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -179 feet per minute was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a stable and consistent approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 360°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The total landing distance of 851 meters, which accounted for only 33% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's exceptional skills and the aircraft's performance.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable stop at the end of the runway. Overall, the landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing, demonstrating the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
