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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,808 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,808 m of the 2,434 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 734 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDDV Hannover Airport, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 27L, with the aircraft taking off after covering 66% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,547 meters, and the liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 26°C temperature and a 6-knot headwind at 269°. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of the airport and continued for 17 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,171 feet above sea level to 36,258 feet, an increase of 35,087 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 105 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south-east of Mariaparochie in the Netherlands. This phase lasted for 36 minutes and covered a distance of 255 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Abbotsley in England, and descended from 35,723 feet to 3,525 feet, a decrease of 32,198 feet, in 21 minutes, covering 101 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 2 miles north-east of Longdendale in England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The final descent phase began overhead Hyde in England, and the aircraft descended from 2,991 feet to 1,541 feet, a decrease of 1,450 feet, in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23R at EGCC Manchester Airport was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 231.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,315 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, which was 2,434 meters long, with the threshold height being slightly above the target at 59 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 140 knots.
The touchdown point was 317 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with the touchdown speed being 125 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -496 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centreline. Local weather conditions at the time of landing were 23°C temperature and a 7-knot crosswind at 300°, with a 3-knot headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,727 meters, which was 71% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 479 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 87 minutes, with the aircraft using 3,425 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 23R at Manchester Airport (EGCC) with a score of 93.2%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 231.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,315 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a slight deviation in threshold height, being 59 feet agl, which was slightly above the target. Additionally, the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 140 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 317 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 125 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was hard, at -496 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a relatively steep descent. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 300°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,727 meters, which accounted for 71% of the runway length. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent during the rollout phase. Overall, while there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 93.2%.
