See Departure Roll
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 rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at EKVG Vágar Airport, located on the island of Vágar in the Faroe Islands. The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,121 meters, which was 62% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 146 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 10°.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of EKVG Vágar Airport. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,117 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 35,743 feet, an increase of 34,626 feet in just 19 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 102 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 48 minutes and covered a distance of 191 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a latitude of 62.6844438 and a longitude of -10.6900567.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 17 miles south east of BIKL Kirkjubæjarklaustur Airport in Iceland. The descent was from a maximum altitude of 35,631 feet to an altitude of 4,715 feet, a decrease of 30,916 feet in 22 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 116 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time lasting only 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. This brief cruise phase took place 6 miles north east of Grundarhverfi in Iceland.
The final descent phase began 5 miles east of Akranes in Iceland, and the aircraft descended from an altitude of 4,076 feet to 1,529 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 19 at BIRK Reykjavik Airport, approaching from the north at a heading of 176.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,492 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft landed safely on runway 19, with a touchdown distance of 413 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 121 knots, and the touchdown rate was -184 feet per minute, both of which were good. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 90°. The crosswind was 14 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,118 meters, which was 76% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 430 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 80 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,356 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at BIRK Reykjavik Airport, achieving a high score of 96.6%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 176.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,492 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach to runway 19 was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 129 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 413 meters, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 121 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -184 feet per minute (fpm) was within the desired parameters. However, there was a slight issue with the runway touchdown position, as it was misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were not ideal, with a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 14 knots at 90°. This resulted in a significant crosswind component of 14 knots, but the pilot was able to compensate for it by using the available headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance of 1,118 meters was 76% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
One of the notable aspects of this landing was the excellent runway rollout alignment, which was described as "very good". This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable transition from the landing phase to the taxiing phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft through challenging weather conditions.
