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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,597 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 213 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an EasyJet FWB, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Kalgoorlie Boulder Airport, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 18, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 142 knots. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, and a crosswind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an altitude of 2,256 feet above sea level to 38,616 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,360 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 78 nautical miles. The climb took place over the town of Broadwood in the state of Western Australia.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 60 minutes and covered a distance of 449 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place approximately 26 miles east of Carosue Dam Airport in the state of Western Australia.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent, descending from an altitude of 38,992 feet above sea level to 10,917 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,075 feet, in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 56 nautical miles. This descent took place approximately 15 miles west of Nypari Airport in the state of South Australia.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place approximately 22 miles southwest of Mutitjulu in the Northern Territory.
The aircraft then began another descent, descending from an altitude of 10,381 feet above sea level to 3,183 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,198 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. This descent took place approximately 16 miles south of Mutitjulu.
The aircraft then began a climb, ascending from an altitude of 3,214 feet above sea level to 4,426 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,212 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This climb took place approximately 6 miles southeast of Mutitjulu.
The aircraft then began another descent, descending from an altitude of 4,337 feet above sea level to 2,767 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,570 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. This descent took place approximately 5 miles east of Mutitjulu.
The final approach to runway 31 at Ayers Rock Connellan Airport took place from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 305.0° at an altitude of 1,147 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft landed on runway 31, which had a length of 2,597 meters. The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, a threshold speed of 123 knots, and a touchdown distance of 213 meters. The touchdown speed was 120 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -434 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 625 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 101 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,995 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as FWB EasyJet, successfully landed at YAYE Ayers Rock Connellan Airport, achieving a score of 97.7%. The final approach to runway 31 was conducted from the south east, with the aircraft heading 305.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,147 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height, with the threshold speed being 123 knots. This indicates that the pilot maintained a steady and controlled descent, ensuring a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown. The touchdown distance of 213 meters was also within acceptable limits, further highlighting the pilot's skill and control.
However, the touchdown rate was reported as hard, with a rate of -434 feet per minute. This may indicate that the pilot could have applied a slightly gentler touchdown, but it did not compromise the overall safety of the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a precise and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The total landing distance of 1,030 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control in challenging conditions.
