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 2,685 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 516 m past the threshold — beyond 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 KAIZ Lee C Fine Memorial Airport. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 04, with the aircraft taking off after covering 36% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 719 meters, and the liftoff speed was 138 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 24°C and winds of 9 knots at 30°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb started overhead KAIZ Lee C Fine Memorial Airport, Kaiser Lake Ozark, and continued to an altitude of 20,360 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,528 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile north-east of 97MO Gary's Airport Buffalo, lasting 7 minutes and covering 49 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent from 20,326 feet above sea level to 3,993 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,333 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 59 nautical miles. The descent started 1 mile north-west of Billings, Missouri.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting overhead Springdale, Arkansas, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile south of AR35 Henson Farm Airport Fayetteville, with the aircraft descending from 4,006 feet above sea level to 3,125 feet above sea level, a decrease of 882 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 1 mile north of Greenland, Arkansas, and lasting 4 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34 at KXNA Northwest Arkansas National Airport was made from the south, heading 340.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,249 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 34, with the aircraft covering 39% of the runway's length. The touchdown point was 94 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 115 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -201 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 23°C and winds of 13 knots at 10°. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the headwind was 12 knots. The total landing distance was 1,036 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.3 meters from the centreline.
The aircraft then taxiied to the parking area from the runway, taking 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 167 nautical miles, taking 41 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,476 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KXNA Northwest Arkansas National Airport, achieving a score of 95.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 340.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,249 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, touching down on runway 34 with a threshold speed of 126 knots, which was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown point was 94 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown speed of 115 knots was considered good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and managed the descent effectively. The touchdown rate of -201 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
One notable aspect of the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 11.3 meters. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23°C and wind speeds of 13 knots at 10°, may have contributed to the misalignment.
The total landing distance of 1,036 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot executed a well-controlled approach and touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.3 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more precise alignment with the runway centerline.
