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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,990 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,288 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KSWF New York Stewart International Airport. This process took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll from runway 27 was smooth, with a takeoff distance of 4,387 feet, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 164 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 65°F and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°. The crosswind was negligible, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of KSWF and continued for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,477 feet above sea level to 15,917 feet, an increase of 14,440 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south of Merritt Park and lasted for 2 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Shenorock, and descended from 15,976 feet to 12,014 feet, a decrease of 3,963 feet, in 3 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to alternate between level cruise and descent phases, with each phase lasting for 2 minutes. The level cruise phases took place over various locations, including Rye Brook, Eastchester, Elmhurst, Herricks, and New Cassel, while the descent phases occurred over Shenorock, Eastchester, and New Cassel. The final descent phase started 1 mile east of Fresh Meadows and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, KLGA LaGuardia Airport, it entered a final approach phase, heading southeast towards runway 31. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,081 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 14°F and a wind speed of 29 knots at 330°.
The aircraft landed smoothly on runway 31, with a touchdown distance of 1,281 feet, which was 40% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 129 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -365 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 19 feet from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 135 nautical miles, took 46 minutes, and used 4,925 pounds of fuel. The flight was executed smoothly, with good threshold height, threshold speed, touchdown distance, touchdown speed, and touchdown rate. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LaGuardia Airport's runway 31 with a score of 95.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 300.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,081 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 14°F, and the wind was blowing at 29 knots from a direction of 330°. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 26 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot maintained control of the aircraft and executed a smooth touchdown.
The threshold speed was good at 141 knots, and the touchdown speed was also satisfactory at 129 knots. The touchdown distance was within the acceptable range at 1,281 feet, and the touchdown rate was firm at -365 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 19 feet from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 2,810 feet, which is 40% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating that the pilot executed a precise and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise in handling the aircraft during the landing phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated excellent skills in navigating the challenging weather conditions and executing a precise touchdown. The score of 95.2% reflects the high level of proficiency and control exhibited by the pilot during the landing.
