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 5,077 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,077 ft of the 13,451 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,314 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 35R at LTFM İstanbul Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,746 feet, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 41°F and a wind speed of 18 knots at a direction of 20°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 17 knots. With these conditions in mind, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of LTFM İstanbul Airport Arnavutköy. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 114 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,365 feet above sea level to 33,303 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles west of Mudurnu. This phase lasted for 127 minutes and covered a distance of 1,420 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 12 miles north of OMAS Das Island Airport Das Island. The descent took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 123 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,592 feet to 2,036 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 13 miles southeast of OMAA Zayed International Airport Abu Dhabi. This phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 31R at OMAA Zayed International Airport, approaching from the southeast at a heading of 308.0° and at an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,320 feet and a touchdown speed of 126 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -218 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 73°F and a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 30°.
The total landing distance was 4,811 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,676 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 196 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 22,083 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 31R at OMAA Zayed International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.8%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 308.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 134 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,320 feet was also within the expected parameters. However, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -218 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 73°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 30°. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance of 4,811 feet was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, indicating that the pilots had excellent control over the aircraft's speed and direction. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out smoothly on the runway.
