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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 377 m touchdown sits inside 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 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A319 then departed from runway 26L at London Gatwick Airport (EGKK), with a takeoff distance of 217 meters, which was 9% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft climbed to a height of 34,604 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,395 feet from the initial altitude of 1,209 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 70 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead Charlwood in Surrey, England, and the aircraft then leveled off in cruise mode 1 mile north of Irchester in Northamptonshire, England. This level cruise lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 39 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from a height of 34,550 feet above sea level to 2,734 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,817 feet, in 25 minutes and covering a distance of 132 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile northeast of Kegworth in Leicestershire, England, and the aircraft then leveled off in cruise mode 7 miles southeast of Douglas on the Isle of Man. This level cruise lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent from a height of 2,272 feet above sea level to 1,327 feet above sea level, a decrease of 945 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at Isle of Man Airport (EGNS) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 258.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 26, which had a length of 1,524 meters. The threshold height at 59 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 133 knots.
The touchdown point was 123 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -312 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 210 degrees.
The total landing distance was 963 meters, which was 63% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 255 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 62 minutes. The aircraft used 2,111 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at EGNS Isle of Man Airport, achieving a score of 98.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 26, which has a length of 1,524 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 123 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the designated area. The touchdown speed was recorded at 128 knots, which is a little faster than the target speed. However, the touchdown rate was firm at -312 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots from 210°. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance was 963 meters, which accounts for 63% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot made a good approach and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot achieving a high score of 98.4%. The aircraft's performance was good, despite the slightly fast touchdown speed and the challenging weather conditions.
