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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,529 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 267 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27 at Gibraltar Airport, with the Airbus A320 taking off after a distance of 1,134 meters, which is 74% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 21 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Gibraltar, it reached an altitude of 2,146 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,110 feet from the initial altitude of 1,035 feet. This climb was achieved in just 1 minute and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile east of Algeciras, Spain, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 2,132 feet to 2,786 feet above sea level, an increase of 655 feet. This climb was achieved in 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise that followed started 11 miles east of the Gibraltar Static Carrier - Prince of Wales and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the final approach to runway 27 at Gibraltar Airport, it was heading in a direction of 265.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,787 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. However, the pilot decided to execute a go-around at an altitude of just 11 feet above ground level.
The aircraft then landed safely on runway 27, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots and a touchdown distance of 269 meters, which is 74% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was fair at -295 feet per minute. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline, the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 260 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 20 knots. The total landing distance was 1,133 meters, and the total flight distance was 42 nautical miles, taking 17 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 7,184 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Gibraltar Airport, achieving a score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,787 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 27, which has a length of 1,529 meters.
The landing was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it touched down on the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed, coming in at 146 knots. This minor deviation from the target speed did not seem to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained a good speed of 132 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 269 meters. However, the touchdown rate was fair, coming in at -295 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with a slightly higher rate of descent than desired.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, deviating by 3.6 meters. This minor deviation may have been due to the crosswind component, which was 3 knots. The headwind, on the other hand, was 20 knots, which likely contributed to the aircraft's stable approach and landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 20 knots from 260°. The aircraft's performance was not significantly affected by the wind conditions, as the runway rollout alignment was very good.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at Gibraltar Airport was successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed, distance, and alignment. While there were some minor deviations from the target speeds and touchdown rate, the landing was executed safely and efficiently.
