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 first 1,524 m of the 2,895 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 395 m 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 26 at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport in Stockholm, Sweden. The takeoff distance was 897 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 141 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 23 knots at 250°.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport. The climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 71 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 1,163 feet above sea level to 34,148 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,985 feet. The enroute level cruise then started 41 miles south-east of Djuroe, Stockholm County, Sweden, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent, which started 38 miles west of Kihelkonna, Saaremaa, Estonia. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 34,189 feet above sea level to 32,696 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,493 feet. The enroute level cruise then started again 35 miles south-west of Kihelkonna, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then began another descent, which started 35 miles south-west of Kihelkonna. The descent took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 91 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 32,696 feet above sea level to 10,212 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,484 feet. The enroute level cruise then started again 5 miles north-west of Tukums, Tukuma novads, Latvia, and lasted for 151 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then began another descent, which started 5 miles north-west of Tukums. The descent took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 10,212 feet above sea level to 6,393 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,819 feet. The enroute level cruise then started again 9 miles north-east of Smarde, Engures Novads, Latvia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent, which started 11 miles north of Jurmala, Latvia. The descent took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 5,907 feet above sea level to 1,316 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,591 feet. The final approach to runway 18 at EVRA Riga International Airport then began, with the aircraft heading 185.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 18 at EVRA Riga International Airport, which had a length of 2,895 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 129 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 396 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 123 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -218 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centreline. The local weather
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Riga International Airport, achieving a score of 99.2%. The aircraft was approaching runway 18 from the north, heading 185.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 2,895 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good.
During the final approach, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 128 kt, reaching 129 kt. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 396 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 123 kt. The touchdown rate of -218 feet per minute was considered fair. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 19 kt from 210°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 kt and a headwind of 17 kt. The total landing distance was 1,134 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway length.
Despite the slight misalignment and fast touchdown speed, the aircraft's rollout alignment on the runway was reported as very good. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and maneuverability.
