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 2,561 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 605 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 LFBD Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 29, with a takeoff distance of 1,284 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 229°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile east of Martignas-sur-Jalle, where the aircraft ascended from 1,160 feet above sea level to 31,219 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,058 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 86 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of Lauzerte and lasted for 22 minutes, covering a distance of 165 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles west of Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhone, where it descended from 31,322 feet above sea level to 8,804 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,517 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 3 miles north of Sainte-Maxime and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 6 miles east of Sainte-Maxime, where the aircraft descended from 8,189 feet above sea level to 1,028 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,160 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04L at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport was made from the southwest, heading 46.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,002 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 2,561 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 137 knots.
The touchdown point was 190 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 131 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -121 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 24°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 160°, with a crosswind component of 5 knots and a tailwind component of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,344 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in approximately 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 369 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 72 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2,753 kilograms.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, achieving a score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 46.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,002 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 04L, which has a length of 2,561 meters.
The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was well within the acceptable range at 137 knots. The touchdown point was 190 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was a bit faster than desired, which may have contributed to the slightly off-center touchdown.
Despite the minor deviations, the touchdown rate was smooth at -121 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots at 160°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance was 1,344 meters, accounting for 52% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the approach and landing phases. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise in managing the aircraft's descent and touchdown.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport was a successful one, with a high score and minimal deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The pilots' attention to detail and expertise in managing the aircraft's approach and landing phases were evident throughout the landing.
