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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,049 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 467 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KBTV Burlington International Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 33, with the aircraft lifting off after covering 48% of the runway's length, which was 1,141 meters. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb overhead Winooski, Vermont, and continued to ascend to 38,416 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,145 feet in 31 minutes, covering a distance of 209 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles northeast of the 84NY Skyview Airport Rush in New York, and lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 190 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 38,875 feet above sea level to 7,098 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,777 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles east of Fraser, Michigan, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute descent from 6,983 feet above sea level to 1,939 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,044 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles, began overhead Warren, Michigan.
The final approach to runway 21L at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 209.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,291 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, which was 3,049 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also good at 133 knots.
The touchdown point was 51 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -141 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 180 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,018 meters, which was 33% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately 5 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 474 nautical miles, taking 92 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,975 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 21L at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, achieving a high score of 99.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northeast, heading 209.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,291 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 133 knots, which was within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly higher than desired at 128 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -141 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was excellent, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots from a direction of 180°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, which further contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,018 meters was 33% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to safely come to a stop. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop without any deviation from the centerline. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 99.9%.
