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 2,236 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 359 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 72 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 21 at Charlottesville Albemarle Airport (KCHO). The takeoff distance was 1,000 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 140 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 309 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Hollymead, Virginia, and ascending from 1,661 feet above sea level to 18,597 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,935 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 4 miles east of Elkton, Virginia, and lasting for 12 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 68 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles south of Mexico Farms Airport (1W3) in Cumberland, Maryland, and descending from 18,762 feet above sea level to 4,614 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,148 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 49 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles south of New Florence, Pennsylvania, and lasting for 5 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The enroute descent continued, starting 2 miles east of Black Lick, Pennsylvania, and descending from 3,641 feet above sea level to 2,302 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,339 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile north of Millwood, Pennsylvania, and lasting for 2 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24 at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport (KLBE) was made from the northeast, heading 225.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 925 feet above ground level.
However, the aircraft was required to perform a go-around at 0 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 24 at KLBE, with a runway length of 2,236 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was well above the target at 140 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 361 meters, but the touchdown speed at 121 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -121 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1 degree Celsius, with a wind speed of 27 knots at 259 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 23 knots. The total landing distance was 1,107 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 18.2 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 179 nautical miles, taking a total of 75 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,044 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at KLBE Arnold Palmer Regional Airport, achieving a score of 93.6%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 225.0° at 4 nautical miles and 925 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 24, which has a length of 2,236 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 140 knots. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 361 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 121 knots was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -121 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a precise and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 27 knots from 259°. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 23 knots. The total landing distance was 1,107 meters, which is 49% of the runway length.
Despite the good overall performance, there was a minor issue with the runway rollout alignment, which was misaligned by 18.2 meters from the centreline. This suggests that the aircraft may have deviated slightly from the intended path during the rollout phase. Nevertheless, the landing was considered successful, and the aircraft achieved a high score of 93.6%.
