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 2,789 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 431 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 ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 08, with a takeoff distance of 1,059 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 9 knots at 80 degrees, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 9-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 2 miles east of ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,174 feet above sea level to 28,938 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,764 feet, in just 18 minutes and covering a distance of 117 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started 3 miles south of Rimforsa, in Ostergotland County, Sweden, and lasted for 11 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 85 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 3 miles northeast of Lagan, in Kronoberg County, Sweden, and lasted for 15 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 28,478 feet above sea level to 1,504 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,973 feet, and covered a distance of 83 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 17 at ESMS Malmö Sturup Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 173.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 17 at ESMS Malmö Sturup Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 130 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown distance was 431 meters, which was within the acceptable range, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 13 knots at 100 degrees, resulting in a 12-knot crosswind and a 4-knot headwind.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 294 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 56 minutes, during which the aircraft used 2,600 kilograms of fuel. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ESMS Malmö Sturup Airport, achieving a high score of 99.5%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 173.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 17, which has a length of 2,789 meters.
The threshold height at 56 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing height. However, the threshold speed was well within the acceptable range at 136 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the final approach. The touchdown distance of 431 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
Despite a slightly fast touchdown speed of 130 knots, the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing. The touchdown rate of -226 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown relatively smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilots, but they were able to navigate the aircraft safely to the runway.
The total landing distance of 1,361 meters was 49% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 99.5%.
