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.
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: off the runway's 4° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 4° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,558 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,039 ft 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 ENKR Kirkenes Airport, Høybuktmoen. This process took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 23, with a takeoff distance of 4,137 feet, which accounted for 79% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 47°F and winds of 4 knots at 189°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from Kirkenes, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 75 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 1,193 feet above sea level to 32,231 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of 69 nautical miles. This phase began 18 miles northwest of Utsjoki in Lapland, Finland. After the cruise phase, the aircraft started its enroute descent, which began 7 miles southwest of Alta in Troms og Finnmark, Norway. The descent took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 83 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 32,207 feet to 937 feet.
The final approach to runway 18 at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 193.0° at an altitude of 903 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 6,558 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 125 knots, and the touchdown distance was 1,042 feet, which was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was also within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -263 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 48°F and winds of 8 knots at 210°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 3,827 feet, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 233 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,435 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, with a score of 99.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 193.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 903 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down on runway 18, which has a length of 6,558 feet.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 125 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown distance of 1,042 feet was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
The touchdown speed of 121 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -263 feet per minute (fpm) was fair. However, it is worth noting that a touchdown rate of -263 fpm is slightly higher than the ideal rate, which may indicate some minor issues with the aircraft's descent or the pilot's control of the aircraft during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 48°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions made the landing relatively straightforward, and the aircraft was able to maintain a perfect runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance of 3,827 feet was 58% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a short distance, demonstrating the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely on the runway.
