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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,882 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 280 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.71 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from EDDS Stuttgart Airport, the aircraft took off from runway 07, utilizing 50% of the 3,000-meter runway to achieve a liftoff speed of 164 kt. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19 °C, with a wind speed of 3 kt at 120 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north west of Neuhausen auf den Fildern, Germany, reaching an altitude of 10,366 meters above sea level (asl) in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nm. The aircraft then entered a series of level cruises, with the longest lasting 20 minutes and covering 139 nm, before beginning its descent over Sint-Laureins, Belgium. The aircraft continued to descend and level cruise throughout its journey, eventually beginning its final approach to runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport from the east. The aircraft landed on the 2,495-meter runway, with a touchdown distance of 286 m and a touchdown speed of 129 kt, meeting the desired performance criteria.
The total flight distance was 553 nm, with a total flight time of 1 hour and 54 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 3,815 kg. Taxiing from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm. The aircraft's performance during the final approach and landing was satisfactory, with a runway touchdown position slightly misaligned from the centerline, but with a very good runway rollout alignment.
The final approach to runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport from the east was executed with precision, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 397.4 meters above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The approach quality was excellent, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 258.0° throughout the descent. The threshold height was good, indicating a well-executed approach.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown distance of 286 meters was good. The touchdown rate of -1.0 meters per second was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centreline, which may require attention during future approaches. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9°C and a light headwind of 3 knots, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,186 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 98.6%.
