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 2,232 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 593 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 32 at ESNU Umeå Airport in Umeå, Sweden. The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 915 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 141 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, rising from an altitude of 1,024 feet above sea level to 3,012 feet above sea level in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 3 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent to a lower altitude.
The descent phase started 1 mile north of Braennland, Sweden, and the aircraft descended from 2,693 feet above sea level to 1,411 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 1,398 feet above sea level to 3,006 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 16 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles, before beginning its descent once again. This time, the descent started 4 miles northeast of Holmsund, Sweden, and the aircraft descended from 3,016 feet above sea level to 2,539 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles, before beginning its final descent. This descent started 4 miles southeast of Holmsund, Sweden, and the aircraft descended from 2,522 feet above sea level to 1,309 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32 at ESNU Umeå Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 317.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 32, which had a length of 2,232 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 135 knots.
The touchdown point was 235 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -122 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°.
The total landing distance was 1,023 meters, which was 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 41 nautical miles, and the flight took 34 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 1,457 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ESNU Umeå Airport, achieving a score of 96.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 317.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 32, which has a length of 2,232 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, at a point 235 meters from the threshold. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating a slightly fast touchdown. However, the touchdown rate was smooth, at -122 feet per minute (fpm), which is a desirable characteristic for a safe landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 4.8 meters. This deviation may have been due to various factors, including wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each.
The total landing distance of 1,023 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to land smoothly and efficiently, with minimal use of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain its direction and speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.5%. However, there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, including a slightly fast touchdown speed and a slightly misaligned touchdown position. These deviations were not significant enough to compromise the safety of the landing, and the aircraft was able to land smoothly and efficiently.
