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.

Side view — the last 5,388 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,388 ft of the 11,175 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,277 ft 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 a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 09R at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 6,496 feet, which accounted for 82% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and winds of 9 knots at 70°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Rosemont, Illinois, and began its ascent from 1,674 feet above sea level to 35,892 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,218 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise that started 3 miles east of Port Byron, Illinois, and lasted for 191 minutes, covering a distance of 1,236 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent from 35,993 feet above sea level to 10,219 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,774 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nautical miles. This descent started 5 miles northwest of Conner Goffs, California. The enroute level cruise that followed began overhead Lucerne Valley, California, and lasted for only 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final descent began 3 miles northeast of Lake Arrowhead Airport, California, and took the aircraft from 10,167 feet above sea level to 2,223 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,944 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 26R at KONT Ontario International Airport, flying from the east at a heading of 270.0°, 4 nautical miles from the runway and 1,274 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 26R was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 133 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was 1,280 feet, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 71°F and winds of 4 knots at 240°.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,478 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 243 minutes. The aircraft used 19,715 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 26R at KONT Ontario International Airport, achieving a score of 99.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 138 kt, registering at 139 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 1,280 feet was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 133 kt was a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 71°F and a gentle wind of 4 kt from 240°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind of 2 kt and a headwind of 4 kt, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 5,132 feet was 46% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly, and the aircraft came to a stop in a safe and controlled manner. The high score of 99.8% reflects the pilot's expertise and adherence to standard operating procedures.
