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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,040 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 495 m 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 10L at KFLL Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,643 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 15 knots at a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Dania Beach, Florida. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 159 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,043 feet above sea level to 35,364 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,321 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southwest of Orlando, Florida. This phase lasted for 38 minutes and covered a distance of 1,046 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles southeast of Plymouth, Iowa. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 103 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 34,914 feet above sea level to 2,126 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,788 feet.
The final approach to runway 12R at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 121.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 12R, which had a length of 3,040 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots.
The touchdown point was 80 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 138 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -153 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,401 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,317 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 80 minutes. The aircraft used 9,244 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport on runway 12R, achieving a score of 99.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 121.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on the runway.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 142 kt, which is a minor deviation. The touchdown point was 80 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 138 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -153 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 6 kt from 110°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 6 kt, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance of 1,401 meters was 46% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control as it taxied down the runway after landing. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft scored a high 99.5% on the landing.
