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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,137 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,137 m of the 2,940 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 681 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Dublin Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, the aircraft lined up on runway 28R and initiated the departure roll, accelerating down the 1,175-meter stretch of the runway that comprised 44% of its total length. At a liftoff speed of 159 knots, the aircraft lifted off the ground, leaving the Dublin Airport area behind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it began its ascent from 1,078 feet above sea level, gradually increasing to 35,538 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 140 nautical miles. The climb phase was characterized by a steady rate of ascent, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude over the English countryside. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted 23 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 169 nautical miles, before it began its descent towards Brussels Airport. The descent phase was initiated over Harrietsham, England, and the aircraft gradually lost altitude, descending from 35,999 feet to 7,452 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Brussels Airport, it initiated a series of short level cruises, each lasting a few minutes, before finally beginning its final approach to runway 01. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 148 knots, and the aircraft touched down 267 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 140 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -268 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 2,058 meters, which comprised 70% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 471 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 3,924 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted 90 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 01 at EBBR Brussels Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, characterized by a good threshold height and speed of 148 kt. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, with a touchdown speed of 140 kt, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -268 fpm was slightly higher than ideal, indicating a slightly steeper descent than necessary.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway 267 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, which was a minor deviation from the ideal touchdown point. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 3.1 m from the centreline, although this was a minor issue. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light headwind of 2 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The aircraft's rollout was executed smoothly, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment with the centreline. The total landing distance of 2,058 m was 70% of the available runway length, which was a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's weight and the prevailing weather conditions. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 95.8% reflecting the minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point and runway alignment.
