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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,436 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 276 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 08 at KDEN Denver International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,993 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -9 °C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 239°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 2 miles east of KDEN Denver International Airport. The climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 110 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 6,289 feet above sea level to 35,821 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,533 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 12 miles northwest of Cheyenne Wells, Colorado. This cruise phase lasted for 34 minutes and covered a distance of 293 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 6 miles west of 8KS2 King Ranch Airport in Hamilton, Kansas. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 138 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 36,285 feet above sea level to 2,873 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,412 feet. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time overhead Walnut Grove, Missouri, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at KSGF Springfield Branson National Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 142.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 14, which had a length of 2,436 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 136 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 277 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -307 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -4 °C. The total landing distance was 956 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 559 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 90 minutes. The aircraft used 3,299 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at KSGF Springfield Branson National Airport, achieving a high score of 98.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 142.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 14, which has a length of 2,436 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 135 kt, which is a minor deviation. The touchdown distance of 277 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing.
Despite a slightly fast touchdown speed of 132 kt, the touchdown rate of -307 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during future landings.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were cold, with a temperature of -4°C. The total landing distance of 956 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft performed well under the given conditions. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and runway alignment.
