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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,817 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,817 m of the 3,488 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 854 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 31L, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 1,751 meters, or 58% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 151 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 329°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and an 8-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Budapest, it began its enroute climb approximately 2 miles east of Kispest, rising from an initial altitude of 1,457 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 33,009 feet, an increase of 31,552 feet over a distance of 110 nautical miles in 18 minutes. Following a 20-minute level cruise, which covered 146 nautical miles, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent approximately 5 miles northwest of Schela, Romania, and descended from 33,019 feet to 1,524 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,496 feet over a distance of 162 nautical miles in 30 minutes.
Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft began its descent towards runway 08R at Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport from the west, maintaining a heading of 84.0° at an altitude of 1,194 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at an altitude of 46 feet above ground level. The aircraft subsequently landed on runway 08R, with a touchdown point located 441 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was within acceptable limits, while the touchdown rate of -232 feet per minute was fair. The aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned. Following a taxiing period of 6 minutes and a distance of 2 nautical miles, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 493 nautical miles and utilizing 4,303 kilograms of fuel over a total flight time of 1 hour and 42 minutes.
The final approach to runway 08R at LROP Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport from the west was initiated at 4 nm and 1,194 ft above ground level, heading 84.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 66 ft above ground level, which was above the target. The threshold speed of 146 kt was slightly above the target, indicating a slight increase in power during the final stages of the approach.
The aircraft touched down 441 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 kt, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -232 fpm was fair, indicating a slightly higher than ideal rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.8 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the slightly higher touchdown rate. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17 °C and a headwind of 10 kt, were favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,739 m was 50% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.5 m from the centreline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 86.3%.
