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 2,282 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 600 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 18L at Tulsa International Airport (KTUL), with a takeoff distance of 1,770 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Tulsa, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of the airport and reaching an altitude of 34,319 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 129 nautical miles, took 22 minutes and resulted in an increase of 32,677 feet in altitude. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, which lasted for 63 minutes and covered a distance of 581 nautical miles.
The enroute cruise phase was followed by a descent, which started 3 miles north of Lorain, Ohio. The aircraft descended from 33,470 feet to 3,201 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,269 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 116 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off again, this time for a short period of 5 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The second descent phase started 1 mile north of Northwest Harborcreek, Pennsylvania, and resulted in a decrease of 1,017 feet in altitude in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24 at Erie International Tom Ridge Field (KERI), approaching from the north east at a heading of 234.0 degrees.
The final approach was made at an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 2,282 meters. The touchdown point was 178 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 138 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was smooth at -132 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.7 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,299 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 851 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 123 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,610 kilograms of fuel during the flight. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 1 degree Celsius, with a wind speed of 23 knots at 280 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 16 knots.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at KERI Erie International Tom Ridge Field, with a score of 92.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 234.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,262 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 24, which has a length of 2,282 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 178 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 138 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -132 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the intended path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 23 knots from 280°. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 16 knots. The aircraft's performance was not significantly affected by the wind conditions, as the touchdown speed and rate were still within acceptable limits.
The total landing distance was 1,299 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for safe deceleration and rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.7 meters from the centerline, which may require further attention to ensure proper alignment during future landings.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within the designated runway area. However, there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, which may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the aircraft's performance.
