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.

Side view — the last 1,812 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,812 m of the 3,491 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 453 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 A321, then departed from runway 08 at Ben Gurion International Airport (LLBG) in Israel. The takeoff distance was 1,149 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Yehud in the Central District of Israel. The climb took place from an altitude of 1,093 feet above sea level to 7,900 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,807 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile southwest of Bat Yam in the Tel Aviv District of Israel. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, starting 15 miles west of Jaffa in the Tel Aviv District of Israel. This climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 8,013 feet above sea level to 34,024 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,011 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 59 miles southeast of Mazotos in the Eparchia Larnakas region of Cyprus. This phase lasted for 108 minutes and covered a distance of 683 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, starting 1 mile northwest of Zavet in the Oblast Razgrad region of Bulgaria. The descent took place from an altitude of 34,023 feet above sea level to 1,565 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,458 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08R at Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport (LROP) was made from the west, heading 84.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 08R, which had a length of 3,491 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 455 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 143 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -252 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 95 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,732 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 886 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 171 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,709 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LROP Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport on runway 08R, achieving a high score of 99.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 84.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height.
The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 148 kt, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 455 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the descent. However, the touchdown speed of 143 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -252 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -3°C and a wind speed of 8 kt from a direction of 95°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 8 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach. The total landing distance of 1,732 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within the available runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, and the high score of 99.7% reflects the pilot's expertise and attention to detail.
