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 seven 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 2,286 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 652 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 Savannah Hilton Head International Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 28, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 167 knots after covering 49% of the runway's length.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 8°C temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 11 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northeast of Pooler, Georgia, and saw the aircraft ascend from an altitude of 1,167 feet above sea level to 29,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,841 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 95 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northwest of Saint Matthews, South Carolina, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 5 miles northwest of Lydia, South Carolina, and saw the aircraft descend from an altitude of 29,020 feet above sea level to 4,598 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,421 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 123 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles southwest of Wake Forest, North Carolina, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 6 miles west of Wake Forest, North Carolina, and saw the aircraft descend from an altitude of 3,941 feet above sea level to 1,833 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,107 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23L at Raleigh Durham International Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 225.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,412 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 23L, which had a length of 2,286 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots.
The touchdown point was 232 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots and a touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute, both of which were good. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 230°, with a crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind component of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,250 meters, which was 55% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 284 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 58 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,336 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 23L at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport, achieving a score of 92.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 225.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,412 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed on the runway with a threshold speed that was slightly above the target at 144 knots.
The touchdown point was 232 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which indicates that the aircraft touched down slightly further down the runway than intended. However, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute (fpm) was also good. This suggests that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 230°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 10 knots, which had a minimal impact on the landing. The runway length of 2,286 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,250 meters, which was 55% of the runway length.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.8 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centerline. These misalignments suggest that the aircraft may have been slightly off-center during the landing roll, but they did not appear to have any significant impact on the safety of the landing.
Overall, the Airbus A320 landed safely on runway 23L at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport, with a score of 92.0%. While there were some minor issues with the landing, the aircraft's performance was generally good, and the landing was executed with good control.
