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 1,774 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,774 m of the 3,670 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 242 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 27, with the aircraft taking off after covering 24% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 859 meters, and the liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 260 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 12 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of Hebron, Kentucky, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,906 feet above sea level to 36,006 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,100 feet in 11 minutes and covering 97 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles southeast of Owens Field Greencastle in Indiana and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 723 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 2 miles northeast of Windy Plains Airport in Cheyenne Wells, Colorado, and descended from 35,979 feet to 29,791 feet in 3 minutes and covering 41 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 15 miles south of Flagler, Colorado, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent 11 miles east of Hugo, Colorado, and descended from 29,195 feet to 10,066 feet in 13 minutes and covering 84 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again 3 miles southeast of Land Airport Keenesburg, Colorado, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The final descent took place overhead Lindys Airpark Hudson, Colorado, and the aircraft descended from 8,675 feet to 6,609 feet in 3 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17L at Denver International Airport took place from the north, with the aircraft heading 180 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 17L, which was 3,670 meters long. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 141 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 244 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 140 knots. The touchdown rate was very hard at -594 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots at 270 degrees, with a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,698 meters, which was 46% of the runway's length. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 971 nautical miles, and the flight took 87 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 6,346 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 17L at KDEN Denver International Airport, achieving a score of 93.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 3,670 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots, registering at 141 kt. This minor deviation from the target speed did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The touchdown distance was satisfactory, measuring 244 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 140 kt was slightly faster than the target speed, which may have contributed to a harder-than-ideal touchdown. The touchdown rate was indeed very hard, registering at -594 feet per minute (fpm). This high rate of descent may have been a result of the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, deviating by 6.3 meters. This minor deviation may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was 13 kt, while the headwind component was 0 kt.
The total landing distance was 1,698 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline, deviating by 8.1 meters. This minor deviation may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The aircraft's score of 93.4% reflects these minor deviations, but the landing was still executed safely and efficiently.
