See Departure Roll
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 2,495 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 411 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 26L at London Gatwick Airport (EGKK), with a takeoff distance of 1,301 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 163 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Charlwood in Surrey, England, where the aircraft ascended from 1,289 feet above sea level to 3,682 feet, an increase of 2,393 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Capel in Surrey, England, and lasting for 2 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The next enroute climb phase began overhead Salfords in Surrey, England, where the aircraft climbed from 4,024 feet to 4,701 feet, an increase of 677 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes, with a level cruise phase starting 1 mile south of Oxted in Surrey, England, lasting for 3 minutes, and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The next descent phase began overhead Tonbridge in Kent, England, where the aircraft descended from 5,107 feet to 4,508 feet, a decrease of 599 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Lamberhurst in Kent, England, and lasting for 5 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The next descent phase began 1 mile south east of Hadlow Down in East Sussex, England, where the aircraft descended from 4,089 feet to 2,156 feet, a decrease of 1,934 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes, with a level cruise phase starting 2 miles north east of Upper Hartfield in East Sussex, England, lasting for 4 minutes, and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport began from the east, with the aircraft heading at 258.0 degrees and 4 nautical miles from the runway, at an altitude of 1,404 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 26L, which had a length of 2,495 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 145 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 411 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 139 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -354 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees, with negligible crosswind and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,077 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 66 nautical miles, and the flight duration was
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, achieving a score of 95.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,404 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted in a relatively calm environment, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt from the west.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 145 kt, registering at 139 kt. This resulted in a slightly firm touchdown rate of -354 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 411 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, which may have contributed to the firm touchdown rate.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The total landing distance of 1,077 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a well-planned and controlled approach, resulting in a smooth and efficient landing. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out in a controlled manner.
