Retract gear by 400 feet
Next time
Rotate the moment the speed tape reaches 136 kt, not after it.
What happened: Rotation was held until 160 kt, 24 kt past the 136 kt rotation target. Carrying that much extra speed into rotation usually adds unwanted energy right at liftoff.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the 136 kt rotation target.
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 14 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 11 m.
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 377 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.94 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A319 taxied from the parking area to runway 19L at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, a movement that lasted 8 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 19L the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 160 kt, using a takeoff distance of 1,867 m which represented 75 % of the runway; ambient temperature was 17 °C with a wind of 7 kt from 234°, including a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced 2 mi north-east of Rosersberg, with the airplane ascending from 319 m asl to 8,838 m asl - an increase of 8,518.9 m - over 10 minutes while covering 59 nm.
The first cruise segment began 8 mi south-west of Mariehamn and lasted 7 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 50 nm at level altitude.
Descent was initiated 1 mi south of Houtskaer, with a reduction from 8,840 m asl to 638 m asl - a loss of 8,202.3 m - over 20 minutes and a distance of 116 nm.
A second level cruise started 3 mi north-east of Kellokoski, lasting 6 minutes and encompassing 17 nm of flight.
The final approach to runway 22R at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport was conducted from the north-east, on a heading of 227.0° at 4 nm and 391.4 m agl; local conditions were 8 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 243°, including a 3 kt cross-wind and a 9 kt head-wind.
Landing on runway 22R, which is 2,987 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 123 kt; touchdown occurred at 378 m down the runway, at a speed of 115 kt and a vertical rate of minus 1.5 m/s, with the touchdown point offset 11.6 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 992 m (33 % of the runway) and the aircraft’s alignment was slightly off centreline by 11.1 m during the roll.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a taxi-in that required 12 minutes and traversed 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 252 nm, required 61 minutes of airborne and ground time, and consumed 2,043 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 22R at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport was flown from the north-east on a heading of 227.0° at 4 NM and 391.4 m AGL. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Local weather was 8 °C with wind 9 kt from 243°, giving a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 9 kt head-wind component.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 123 kt. The touchdown point was established 378 m down the runway, which was judged good.
Touchdown occurred at a good speed of 115 kt and a firm rate of -1.5 m/s. Lateral alignment was off centreline by 11.6 m. The total landing distance measured 992 m, representing 33 % of the 2,987 m runway length.
Rollout alignment was slightly misaligned, with the aircraft deviating 11.1 m from the centreline as it decelerated along the runway.
To improve the already strong performance, focus on tightening lateral control to keep touchdown and rollout within a few metres of the centreline, ensuring a more precise alignment throughout the flare and rollout phases.
