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 2,070 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,070 m of the 2,736 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 493 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Aircraft departed from Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (KSEA) on runway 16L, taking off with a distance of 1,324 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a headwind of 8 knots from a direction of 179°. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 144 knots.
Following a smooth departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile southwest of SeaTac. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 1,264 feet above sea level to 36,556 feet, an increase of 35,292 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise, which lasted for 2998 minutes and covered 1,445 nautical miles. The cruise phase was punctuated by a brief climb phase, which saw the aircraft ascend from 37,000 feet to 38,996 feet in 3 minutes, covering 27 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 1153 minutes and covered 175 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Harrisburg International Airport (KMDT), it began its descent, which started approximately 3 miles north of Woodworth Airport (OH03). The descent phase saw the aircraft descend from 38,773 feet to 1,646 feet in 33 minutes, covering a distance of 214 nautical miles. The aircraft then lined up for a final approach to runway 13 at KMDT, touching down at a speed of 126 knots and a distance of 1,992 meters, which accounted for 82% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, completing a total flight distance of 1,996 nautical miles, which took 287 minutes and consumed 5,578 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 13 at KMDT Harrisburg International Airport from the west was executed with a heading of 117.0° at 4 nm and 1,319 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the threshold height at 56 ft above ground level being slightly above the target. The threshold speed of 130 kt was within the acceptable range, indicating a well-controlled approach.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 79 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal position. The touchdown speed of 126 kt was good, indicating a controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -251 fpm was fair, suggesting a slightly higher than ideal rate of descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft aligned with the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12 °C and a wind of 6 kt at 300°, contributed to a relatively calm landing environment, with a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind of 6 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,992 m was 82% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.6 m from the centreline, which may be attributed to a slight deviation during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 93.9%, reflecting a good performance with some minor deviations.
