Improve the takeoff
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,680 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,680 ft of the 11,542 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,856 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 16 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-900, then departed from runway 24L at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX). The takeoff distance was 6,778 feet, which accounted for 71% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Los Angeles, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 65°F and winds of 4 knots at 99°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started 2 miles south of Marina del Rey, California, and the aircraft climbed from 1,004 feet above sea level to 35,681 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,677 feet in 30 minutes, covering a distance of 167 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 71 miles west of Point Bennett Research Station Airstrip Lompoc (KLOP) and lasted for 375 minutes, covering a distance of 2,816 nautical miles. The aircraft then encountered a series of climbs and level cruises as it traversed the Pacific Ocean. The first climb started at a latitude of 9.4039939 and a longitude of -165.6718949, and the aircraft climbed from 35,896 feet above sea level to 37,269 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,374 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 53 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 53 nautical miles. The next climb started at a latitude of 8.0391122 and a longitude of -167.0800755, and the aircraft climbed from 37,901 feet above sea level to 39,881 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,980 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 95 minutes, covering a distance of 2,963 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 39,808 feet above sea level to 1,286 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,521 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 19L at Brisbane International Airport (YBBN) was made from the north-east, heading 207.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 19L was successful, with a touchdown point 492 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was good at -200 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 35 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 75°F and winds of 4 knots at 190°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 6,416 feet, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 40 feet from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 6,233 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 541 minutes. The aircraft used 183,297 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A350-900 aircraft successfully landed at YBBN Brisbane International Airport on runway 19L. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 207.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 129 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 492 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was a bit faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -200 feet per minute (fpm) was within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 35 feet from the centreline, which may have contributed to the slightly off-target touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a gentle headwind of 4 knots from a direction of 190°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, which helped to reduce the impact of any potential crosswind effects. The total landing distance of 6,416 feet was 56% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively normal landing distance.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centreline was slightly off by 40 feet, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown misalignment. Despite this, the landing was overall successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within a reasonable distance.
