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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,283 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,283 m of the 4,020 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 646 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A320 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll from runway 26L at London Gatwick Airport (EGKK) was smooth, with a takeoff distance of 1,423 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it encountered a local weather condition of 19°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Charlwood, Surrey, England, where the aircraft ascended from 1,222 feet above sea level to 4,907 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,685 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes, and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles, 1 mile north east of Rudgwick, West Sussex, England. This was followed by another climb phase, starting 1 mile north west of Barns Green, West Sussex, England, where the aircraft ascended from 4,903 feet above sea level to 5,885 feet above sea level, an increase of 982 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes, and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles, overhead Washington, West Sussex, England. This was followed by another climb phase, starting 2 miles south east of Worthing, West Sussex, England, where the aircraft ascended from 5,900 feet above sea level to 38,453 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,553 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 136 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 25 minutes, and covering a distance of 190 nautical miles, overhead Boinville-en-Mantois, Ile-de-France, France. This was followed by a descent phase, starting 1 mile south of Limons, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, where the aircraft descended from 39,010 feet above sea level to 4,339 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,671 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 149 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes, and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles, 1 mile south west of Aureille, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France. This was followed by a descent phase, starting overhead Miramas, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France, where the aircraft descended from 4,008 feet above sea level to 1,237 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,771 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a climb phase, starting overhead LFML Marseille Provence Airport Marignane, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France, where the aircraft ascended from 1,259 feet above sea level to 6,000 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,741 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. This was followed by a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes, and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles, 2 miles east of Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, achieving a high score of 96.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 355.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,189 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway 35L.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 122 kt, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 126 kt. The touchdown point was 234 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun but still within a safe margin. The touchdown rate of -174 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 11 kt from a direction of 180°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 kt and a tailwind of 11 kt, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The runway length of 4,020 meters provided ample space for the aircraft to come to a stop, with a total landing distance of 2,207 meters, accounting for 55% of the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score and a safe touchdown.
