Next time
Rotate the moment the speed tape reaches 150 kt, not after it.
What happened: Rotation was held until 158 kt, 8 kt past the 150 kt rotation target. Carrying that much extra speed into rotation usually adds unwanted energy right at liftoff.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the 150 kt rotation target.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: wings 12° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,521 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 388 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 01L at ENGM Oslo-Gardermoen in 7 minutes, covering 3 nm on the ground.
During the departure roll on runway 01L, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,611 m, representing 45 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 158 kt. Ambient conditions were 17 °C with a wind of 12 kt from 360°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 12 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead Gardermoen, rising from 1,677 ft asl to 36,455 ft asl - an altitude gain of 34,778 ft - over 20 minutes while traversing 128 nm.
Level cruise began 32 miles south of Stavern in Vestfold og Telemark and continued for 111 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 834 nm at cruise altitude.
Descent was initiated over Ponti in Piemonte, Italy, descending from 37,792 ft asl to 449 ft asl, a loss of 37,343 ft, in 22 minutes and spanning 119 nm.
The final approach to runway 22R at LFMN Nice-Côte d’Azur was flown from the north-east, on a heading of 224.0°, at 1 nm and 425 ft agl.
Landing on runway 22R, which is 2,521 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 131 kt, slightly above target. Touchdown occurred at 390 m down the runway with a speed of 125 kt, and the vertical speed was minus 143 fpm. Runway-touchdown alignment was reported as very good. Local weather at the time was 27 °C with a wind of 10 kt from 210°, a 3 kt cross-wind and a 10 kt head-wind component.
The total landing distance recorded was 1,019 m, representing 40 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained very good.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm on the ground.
In summary, the flight covered a total of 1,087 nm, required 161 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 6,352 kg of fuel.
