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 2,597 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 356 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 LIRQ Florence Airport, Peretola. This process took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 23, with a takeoff distance of 790 meters, which was 90% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 127 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 283 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and there was no headwind. After departing from Florence, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 975 feet above sea level to 12,443 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,468 feet, in just 4 minutes and covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south of San Miniato, Italy, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead Lajatico, Italy. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 12,447 feet above sea level to 1,280 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,167 feet, in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at LIRP Pisa International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 37.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 04R, which had a length of 2,597 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 116 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 357 meters, and the touchdown speed was 110 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was firm at -350 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 280 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, and there was a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,266 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 55 nautical miles, and the flight took 28 minutes. The aircraft used 1,092 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Pisa International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 37.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 04R, which has a length of 2,597 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 116 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 357 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
The touchdown speed of 110 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -350 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly without any significant deceleration. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during future landings.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 280°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. Despite these wind conditions, the aircraft was able to land safely and maintain a good rollout alignment.
The total landing distance of 1,266 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely on the runway.
