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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,570 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 323 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Nantes Atlantique Airport (LFRS), 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. As the aircraft lined up on runway 03, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 1,450 meters, which equated to 54% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 149 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 50°, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and a 13-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Nantes, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 17 minutes, during which time it ascended from 1,047 feet above sea level to 32,671 feet, an increase of 31,624 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 113 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 152 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying 1 mile east of Pleuville. The enroute descent phase began overhead Mizerieux, where the aircraft descended from 33,018 feet to 2,640 feet, a decrease of 30,379 feet, in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG), it began its final approach to runway 04, flying from the southwest at a heading of 45.0°, 4 nautical miles from the threshold and 1,235 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 323 meters, which was within the acceptable limits. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 138 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -438 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 372 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2,662 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 67 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 04 at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down at a distance of 323 m, which was within acceptable limits.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 134 kt, slightly above the recommended touchdown speed. This resulted in a hard touchdown rate of -438 fpm, which may have caused some stress on the landing gear. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating precise control and coordination from the pilots. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12 °C and a headwind of 6 kt, did not significantly impact the approach or landing.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The total landing distance of 1,349 m, which accounted for 38% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 96.5%. While there were some minor deviations from optimal performance, the pilots demonstrated good control and coordination throughout the approach and landing phases.
