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 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 2,882 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 378 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 21 at EDSB Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Takeoff was initiated on runway 21, with the aircraft accelerating through a takeoff distance of 1,143 m (42 % of the runway). Liftoff speed was 142 kt. Ambient conditions were 25 °C with wind 0 kt from 360°, no crosswind and no headwind.
Climb began approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport, rising from 1,395 ft asl to 32,010 ft asl, an increase of 30,615 ft, over 15 minutes while covering 85 nm.
Level cruise was established overhead Boucheporn, Grand Est, France, lasting 34 minutes and extending 220 nm.
Descent commenced 19 miles northwest of Koksijde, Belgium, descending from 32,011 ft asl to 12,448 ft asl, a loss of 19,563 ft, in 7 minutes and covering 44 nm.
A second cruise segment was flown over Birchington-on-Sea, Kent, England, lasting 3 minutes and covering 19 nm.
The final descent started 1 mile south of Lynsted, Kent, dropping from 11,477 ft asl to 1,459 ft asl, a reduction of 10,019 ft, over 9 minutes and 33 nm.
The aircraft entered final approach to runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport from the east, on a heading of 258.0°, at 4 nm and 1,248 ft agl.
Landing was executed on runway 26L, which is 2,882 m long. The threshold speed was 131 kt. Touchdown occurred 379 m down the runway at a speed of 124 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 296 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good. Local weather was 18 °C with wind 4 kt from 210°, giving a 3 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
Total landing distance was 1,350 m (47 % of the runway) and the rollout alignment was perfect.
After rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering 1 nm.
The flight covered a total of 409 nm, required 81 minutes of elapsed time, and recorded fuel consumption of 0 kg.
The Airbus A320ceo entered final approach to runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick from the east on a heading of 258.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,248 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 131 kt. Touchdown distance was good at 379 m, while touchdown speed of 124 kt was a little fast and touchdown rate was fair at minus 296 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Touchdown occurred on runway 26L, whose length is 2,882 m, with the aircraft aligned very well and the speed slightly above the optimum. The distance from the threshold and the descent rate remained within the acceptable envelope for the aircraft type.
Rollout continued with a total landing distance of 1,350 m, representing 47 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 97.5 % the landing was excellent; refining the touchdown speed to be marginally lower and moderating the flare to reduce the descent rate will tighten the already strong performance.
