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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,713 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 748 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 24 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 2,740 feet, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 1 knot at a direction of 10 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile north of Aalsmeerderbrug in the Netherlands. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,053 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 39,956 feet, an increase of 38,904 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 2 miles east of Burscheid in Germany. This phase lasted for 30 minutes and covered a distance of 200 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 1 mile east of Utzenfeld in Germany. The descent was from a maximum altitude of 40,259 feet to a final altitude of 2,664 feet, a decrease of 37,595 feet in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 46.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 240 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were 1 and 3 knots, respectively.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 123 knots and a touchdown distance of 730 feet, which was 24% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was fair at -285 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance was 2,767 feet.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 447 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 94 minutes. The aircraft used 7,426 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG) on runway 04. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 46.0° at an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 128 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 730 feet was also within the expected parameters, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was slightly below the threshold speed, but still within the acceptable range.
However, the touchdown rate of -285 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent. This could be attributed to various factors, including the aircraft's weight, air density, and the pilot's control inputs. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 34°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were favorable for a safe landing, and the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
The total landing distance of 2,767 feet was 24% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain a high degree of control and precision throughout the landing phase. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high degree of skill and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
