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 1,610 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,610 m of the 1,997 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 367 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 19 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 21 at ESSV Visby Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,197 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile east of Visby, Gotland County, Sweden, and climbed from an altitude of 1,165 feet above sea level to 2,978 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,813 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south east of Vibble, Gotland County, Sweden, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 5 miles east of Vaeskinde, Gotland County, Sweden, and descended from an altitude of 3,014 feet above sea level to 1,893 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,121 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 6 miles north east of Vaeskinde, Gotland County, Sweden, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 21 at ESSV Visby Airport was made from the north, heading 201.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 21 was successful, with the threshold height being slightly above the target and the threshold speed being good at 135 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 365 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -498 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,527 meters, which is 76% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 31 nautical miles, and the flight took 17 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 1,104 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ESSV Visby Airport, achieving a score of 95.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 201.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 21, which has a length of 1,997 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 133 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 365 meters was considered good. The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed of 135 knots was satisfactory.
The landing distance of 1,527 meters was 76% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the rollout alignment after touchdown was also spot on. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot.
However, there were some areas for improvement. The touchdown speed was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -498 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft may have touched down with a bit too much force, which could have put additional stress on the landing gear and potentially affected the overall safety of the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a high score of 95.2%. However, there are some areas that the pilots and the aircraft's systems could improve upon to achieve an even better score.
