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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with five 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 2,557 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 380 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 727-200 taxied to runway 04 at MMSM Aeropuerto Internacional General Felipe Ángeles and commenced the departure roll, using a takeoff distance of 477 m (14 % of the runway). Liftoff was achieved at 148 kt. Local conditions were 24 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 338°, providing a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
Climb began 1 mile north-east of MMSM, with the aircraft ascending from 8 573 ft asl to 25 014 ft asl, an increase of 16 441 ft achieved in 7 minutes while covering 37 nm.
The first cruise segment started 4 miles east of Santiago de Anaya and lasted 9 minutes, during which 69 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent commenced 2 miles south-east of Tantoyuca, descending from 25 010 ft asl to 4 034 ft asl, a loss of 20 976 ft in 7 minutes over a distance of 41 nm.
A second cruise phase originated 9 miles south of MMQN Topila Airport Moralillo, persisting for 5 minutes and covering 22 nm.
The next descent was overhead MMTM General Francisco Javier Mina International Airport Tampico, dropping from 3 935 ft asl to 2 140 ft asl, a reduction of 1 795 ft in 2 minutes across 6 nm.
A further cruise segment began 4 miles south-west of Miramar, lasting 5 minutes and encompassing 16 nm.
The final descent started 2 miles north-west of Altamira, falling from 1 863 ft asl to 910 ft asl, a decrease of 953 ft in 2 minutes while covering 5 nm.
For the final approach to runway 13 at MMTM General Francisco Javier Mina International Airport, the aircraft approached from the north-west on a heading of 146.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 829 ft agl.
Landing on runway 13 was executed with a runway length of 2 557 m; the threshold speed was slightly above target at 139 kt. Touchdown occurred 383 m down the runway at 134 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 269 fpm and very good alignment. Local weather at the time was 31 °C with a wind of 13 kt from 120°, giving a 5 kt cross-wind and a 12 kt head-wind component. Total landing distance measured 1 075 m, representing 42 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was recorded as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to parking in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 201 nm, required 47 minutes, and consumed 2 721 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 727-200 executed a final approach to runway 13 at MMTM General Francisco Javier Mina International Airport from the north-west, tracking a heading of 146.0° at 4 nm and 829 ft agl; local weather reported a temperature of 31 °C, wind 13 kt from 120°, providing a 5 kt crosswind component and a 12 kt headwind.
At threshold the height was good and the aircraft entered the flare with a threshold speed slightly above target at 139 kt.
Touchdown occurred 383 m down the runway, a distance described as good, with a touchdown speed of 134 kt noted as a little fast and a touchdown rate fair at minus 269 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,075 m, representing 42 % of the 2,557 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
To tighten the already strong performance, reduce the approach and touchdown speeds toward the target values to eliminate the slight excess, and manage the descent rate to bring the minus 269 fpm rate closer to the optimal range.
