Nail the rotation
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks at 305 m and 152 m 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 2,982 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 226 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Trondheim Airport, Værnes, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 09, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 154 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2 °C, a wind speed of 2 knots at 89 degrees, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Trondheim Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 94 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 330 meters above sea level to 11,267 meters above sea level, an increase of 10,936.6 meters. The enroute climb took place in a relatively calm atmosphere, with the aircraft experiencing a gentle headwind of 2 knots.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 27 minutes and covered a distance of 190 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place approximately 11 miles northwest of Ålåsen Krokom in Sweden. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 5 miles southwest of Korstraesk in Sweden and lasted for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 11,233 meters above sea level to 592 meters above sea level, a decrease of 10,641.2 meters.
The final approach to runway 03 at Rovaniemi Airport took place from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at an angle of 37.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 397.4 meters above ground level. The landing on runway 03 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 127 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 126 knots. The touchdown distance was good, at 225 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -5 °C, a wind speed of 3 knots at 50 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,067 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.5 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 423 nautical miles, taking 77 minutes, and used 2,634 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at EFRO Rovaniemi Airport, achieving a high score of 95.4%. The final approach to runway 03 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 37.0° at an altitude of 397.4 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 126 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 225 meters, but the touchdown speed was slightly higher than desired at 127 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -1.6 meters per second, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -5°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The runway length was 2,982 meters, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft to come to a stop.
The total landing distance was 1,067 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.5 meters from the centerline, which may require attention during future landings.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was well-handled throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there are some minor areas for improvement, such as reducing the touchdown speed and ensuring better runway rollout alignment.
