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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: off the centreline and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 399 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport). The takeoff distance was 1,212 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 23 knots at 11 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 22 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Camarate, a location in the Distrito de Lisboa, Portugal. The climb took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 78 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,403 feet above sea level to 32,125 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,723 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 56 miles southwest of Sines, a location in the Distrito de Setubal, Portugal. This phase lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 304 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 109 miles northeast of LPPS Porto Santo Airport Vila Baleira, a location in Madeira, Portugal. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 142 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 33,112 feet above sea level to 862 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,250 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south of LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo Funchal, a location in Madeira, Portugal. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, approaching from the southwest at a heading of 46.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1 nautical mile and 294 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 05 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 401 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 136 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -104 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.3 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 23 knots at 20 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 21 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,116 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.9 meters. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 531 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 45 minutes. The aircraft used 4,055 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, achieving a score of 96.0%. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south-west, with a heading of 46.0° at an altitude of 294 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 136 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 145 knots. The touchdown distance of 401 meters was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -104 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, demonstrating a gentle and stable landing.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.3 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to slight variations in the aircraft's alignment or wind conditions. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centreline, which could have been caused by the aircraft's wheels not being perfectly aligned with the runway centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 23 knots from a direction of 20°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 21 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment and touchdown position. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, and the aircraft came to a stop within 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo was a successful operation, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
