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 2,360 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 387 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 01L at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, with a takeoff distance of 1,107 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 20 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Gardermoen, with the aircraft ascending from 1,722 feet above sea level to 28,135 feet above sea level, a total increase of 26,413 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 28 nautical miles. This phase began 11 miles northwest of ENEE Sølenstua Airfield Engerdal in Innlandet, Norway. The enroute descent phase started 6 miles south of Roros in Trondelag, Norway, and saw the aircraft descend from 28,134 feet above sea level to 1,537 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 26,597 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 60 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at ENVA Trondheim Airport, Værnes, was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 270 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,484 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 27, which had a length of 2,360 meters. The threshold height was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 386 meters, although the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots. The touchdown rate was very hard at -566 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 250 degrees, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,179 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 202 nautical miles, and the flight used 489 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Trondheim Airport, Værnes, with a score of 92.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,484 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 27, which has a length of 2,360 meters.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was above the target, indicating a slightly higher than desired approach. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 134 knots, indicating a well-controlled descent. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 386 meters, demonstrating a smooth and controlled landing.
Despite the satisfactory touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -566 feet per minute (fpm). A harder touchdown rate can be a concern as it may put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially lead to a bumpy ride for passengers.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,179 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor areas for improvement.
