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.

Side view — the last 1,630 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,630 m of the 1,997 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 405 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 03 at ESSV Visby Airport, a small airport located in Visby, Gotland County, Sweden. The Airbus A320 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a takeoff distance of 94 meters, which is just 5% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was reached at 147 knots, marking the beginning of the aircraft's ascent into the sky.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions consisting of a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was slightly stronger, at 1 knot. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile north of the airport, where the aircraft began its ascent from an altitude of 1,151 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 2,954 feet. This climb phase was completed in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. This phase was initiated 3 miles north of Vaeskinde, another location on the island of Gotland. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 10 miles north of Vaeskinde and lasted for 3 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 3,015 feet to 1,814 feet, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. This phase was initiated 5 miles northwest of Laerbro, a location on the island of Gotland. The final approach to runway 21 at ESSV Visby Airport was initiated from the north, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 201.0 degrees and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed on runway 21, which has a length of 1,997 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 135 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 405 meters, but the touchdown speed was slightly higher than desired at 129 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -320 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,549 meters, which is 78% of the runway's total length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown. The total flight distance was 31 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 12 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 494 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ESSV Visby Airport, achieving a high score of 96.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 201.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a steady course, ensuring a smooth final approach to runway 21.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 135 knots, which was considered good for the threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 405 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown.
The aircraft's descent rate was firm at -320 feet per minute, which is a typical rate for a commercial airliner. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 1,549 meters was 78% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
