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.
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 1,551 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,551 m of the 3,034 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 509 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Bilbao Airport (LEBB), the Airbus A320 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. As the aircraft lined up on runway 30, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 794 meters, which was 37% of the runway length, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 149 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 310°, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 15-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Bilbao, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 113 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,131 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 32,899 feet, an increase of 31,768 feet. Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 101 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by an enroute descent, which started 7 miles west of Miranda do Douro, Portugal, and lasted for 22 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from a maximum altitude of 33,053 feet to a final altitude of 1,468 feet.
As the aircraft approached Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport (LPPR), it began its final approach to runway 35, aligning itself with the runway from the south. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 330°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 9-knot headwind. The aircraft landed on the runway, touching down 90 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 124 knots, with a touchdown rate of -227 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,466 meters, which was 48% of the runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 345 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2,173 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 61 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 35 at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 135 kt was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and airspeed. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down at a speed of 124 kt, which was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown point was located 90 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was still within the acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -227 fpm was fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the descent more efficiently. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a headwind of 9 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,466 m was 48% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 99.0%, indicating a high level of proficiency.
