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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,432 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 557 m past the threshold — beyond 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 22L at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The takeoff distance was 447 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Schiller Park, Illinois. The climb took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 105 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,658 feet above sea level to 37,058 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,400 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of the Beaver Dam Lake Seaplane Base Randolph in Wisconsin. This phase lasted for 12 minutes and covered a distance of 78 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles northeast of the Cran Bog N Airport Warrens in Wisconsin. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 120 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 37,351 feet above sea level to 2,122 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,229 feet.
The final approach to runway 30R at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 302.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 30R, which had a length of 2,432 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 300 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 22 knots.
The touchdown point was 139 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 139 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -267 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,116 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 312 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 78 minutes. The aircraft used 3,350 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP) on runway 30R, achieving a score of 96.8%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 302.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being well within the acceptable range. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed, registering at 147 knots. The touchdown point was located 139 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 139 knots, which was slightly faster than the desired speed. The touchdown rate of -267 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 22 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,116 meters, accounting for 46% of the runway length. This indicates a relatively short landing distance, which is a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance. Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the post-landing phase.
