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 1,531 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,531 m of the 1,939 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 536 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 ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, a process that took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 01L, with a takeoff distance of 1,291 meters, which is 39% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 10°C and wind blowing at 12 knots from a direction of 340°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. After departing from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to an altitude of 34,557 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 161 nautical miles and took 23 minutes, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 33,419 feet.
The enroute descent phase began 2 miles southeast of Fredriksdal, in the Joenkoeping County of Sweden. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,704 feet to 1,369 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,335 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Ängelholm-Helsingborg Airport, it began its final approach to runway 14 from the northwest, heading 136.0° at an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 14, which has a length of 1,939 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 134 knots.
The touchdown point was 118 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -208 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.7 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 13°C and wind blowing at 4 knots from a direction of 205°, with a crosswind component of 4 knots and a headwind component of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,448 meters, which is 75% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 264 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 49 minutes. The aircraft used 475 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ESTA Ängelholm-Helsingborg Airport, achieving a score of 97.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 136.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 14, which has a length of 1,939 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, 118 meters past the designated area. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to make adjustments to reduce the speed before touchdown. The touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing without excessive deceleration.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.7 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its direction and speed after touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 205°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions were likely favorable for the landing, allowing the aircraft to touch down smoothly and maintain its alignment on the runway.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and runway alignment, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
