Improve the takeoff
Not the biggest loss in points — the one thing on this flight a check pilot would raise first, and the guide passage for it.
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 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 2,982 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 448 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 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 22R at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,383 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 323 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles southwest of EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport and ascending from an altitude of 850 feet above sea level to 36,230 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,380 feet in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles west of Petaejaevesi and lasted for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 139 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles northwest of Vihanti and descending from 36,243 feet above sea level to 2,525 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,718 feet in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 113 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles southwest of Rovaniemi and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Rovaniemi and descending from 2,487 feet above sea level to 650 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,837 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The flight then encountered a go-around situation at EFRO Rovaniemi Airport, where the aircraft was at an altitude of 29 feet above ground level. The aircraft then proceeded to make a final approach to runway 21 at EFRO Rovaniemi Airport from the northeast, heading 217.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 21 at EFRO Rovaniemi Airport was successful, with a runway length of 2,982 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 145 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 447 meters, and the touchdown speed was 141 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was firm at -301 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 221 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,230 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The flight then concluded with a taxiing period from the runway to the parking, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 392 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 84 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -4,026 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EFRO Rovaniemi Airport, achieving a high score of 97.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 217.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 21, which has a length of 2,982 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 145 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's weight. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 447 meters, and the touchdown speed of 141 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate was firm at -301 feet per minute (fpm), which is a desirable outcome as it indicates a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's flight path.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 221°. The crosswind was negligible at 0 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach. The total landing distance was 1,230 meters, which is 41% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the aircraft came to a stop without any issues. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory.
