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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 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 2,739 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 310 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway, a movement that required 10 minutes and covered 3 nm.
At KDEN Denver International Airport the aircraft entered runway 08, accelerating for a take-off roll of 2,590 m, which represented 71 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 162 kt. Ambient conditions were 32 °C with a 16 kt wind from 090°, resulting in a 16 kt headwind and zero crosswind.
Climb commenced 3 miles east of KDEN, with the airplane climbing from 6,335 ft asl to 34,941 ft asl, an altitude gain of 28,606 ft achieved in 28 minutes while covering 200 nm.
The first cruise segment began 4 miles north-west of KGOE Gove Airport and continued for 84 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 660 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 3 miles west of Sheffield, Alabama, where the aircraft descended from 35,025 ft asl to 33,005 ft asl, a loss of 2,020 ft in 2 minutes over a distance of 13 nm.
A subsequent cruise phase originated 4 miles west of Town Creek, Alabama, lasting 11 minutes and covering 83 nm.
The next descent began overhead Collinsville, Alabama, with a reduction from 32,583 ft asl to 4,008 ft asl, a decrease of 28,575 ft accomplished in 18 minutes across 112 nm.
A brief cruise segment started 2 miles south-west of Conyers, Georgia, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 6 nm.
Descent resumed 4 miles north-west of 8GA0 Pinetree Heliport, Cumming, Georgia, where the aircraft dropped from 4,016 ft asl to 2,284 ft asl, a loss of 1,731 ft in 2 minutes while covering 7 nm.
The final approach to runway 26R at KATL Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport was conducted from the east, on a heading of 270.0° at 4 nm and 1,257 ft agl.
Landing on runway 26R, which is 2,739 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 138 kt, touchdown speed of 134 kt, and a touchdown distance of 311 m. The touchdown rate was recorded at -501 fpm. Total landing distance measured 1,365 m, representing 50 % of the runway. Weather at the time was 33 °C with an 11 kt wind from 270°, providing an 11 kt headwind and no crosswind.
The aircraft rolled out on runway 26R with alignment described as perfect.
After landing, the Airbus A321 taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1
The Airbus A321 established a final approach to runway 26R at KATL from the east, tracking a heading of 270.0° at 4 nm and 1,257 ft agl while the local temperature was 33 °C and the wind was 11 kt from 270°, providing an 11 kt headwind and zero cross-wind component.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 138 kt.
Touchdown occurred 311 m down the runway at a good speed of 134 kt; the vertical rate was very hard at minus 501 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,365 m, representing 50 % of the 2,739 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
To convert the very hard touchdown rate into a smoother landing, a slightly higher flare altitude should be practiced to reduce the vertical speed at wheel-strike. Maintaining the current speed and alignment will preserve the strong overall performance reflected in the 96.2 % score.
