Improve the takeoff
See Departure Roll
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,884 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,884 m of the 3,041 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 467 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Tokyo Haneda International Airport, RJTT, the Airbus A350-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 05, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 19 °C and a gentle headwind of 9 knots at 29°. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 157 knots, utilizing 55% of the available runway length of 1,378 meters.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its ascent from 980 feet above sea level to 35,000 feet, a vertical increase of 34,020 feet, in just 19 minutes and covering a distance of 311 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was punctuated by several level cruise segments, where the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and speed. Notably, the second level cruise segment, which lasted 52 minutes and covered 1,902 nautical miles, was the longest of the flight. The aircraft continued to climb and descend in response to changing weather conditions and air traffic control instructions, ultimately reaching a maximum altitude of 40,998 feet. As the aircraft began its descent into Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, KMSP, it encountered a gentle headwind of 4 knots at 140°, which facilitated a smooth landing on runway 12R.
The Airbus A350-900 touched down on the runway at a speed of 134 knots, slightly above the target speed, and with a touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute. The aircraft's rollout alignment was perfect, and it came to a stop after covering a total landing distance of 1,806 meters, which was 59% of the available runway length. Following a brief taxiing period, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 5,568 nautical miles in 189 minutes, while consuming 64,233 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 12R at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 137 knots. The approach quality was otherwise good, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 121.0° from a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,312 feet above ground level.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown point was located 53 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was a little faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute was within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.2 meters, which may have contributed to the slightly off-target touchdown point. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots, were favorable for the landing.
The aircraft's rollout was smooth and well-aligned with the centreline, demonstrating good control and coordination from the flight crew. The total landing distance of 1,806 meters was 59% of the available runway length, which is a respectable performance. Overall, the landing was considered a success, with a score of 99.8% reflecting the high level of proficiency displayed by the flight crew.
