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 2,883 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 358 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Figari Sud-Corse Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 23, with the takeoff distance covering 42% of the runway at 1,051 meters. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 20 knots at 219°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 19 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Pianottoli-Caldarello in Corse, France. The climb took 17 minutes to reach an altitude of 32,231 feet, an increase of 31,188 feet from the initial altitude of 1,043 feet. The aircraft covered a distance of 121 nautical miles during this climb.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 29 miles southeast of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France. This phase lasted for 18 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 277 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began, starting 1 mile west of Thoisy-la-Berchere in Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. The descent took 18 minutes to reach an altitude of 1,592 feet, a decrease of 31,228 feet from the initial altitude of 32,819 feet. The aircraft covered a distance of 115 nautical miles during this descent.
The final approach to runway 25 at Paris-Orly Airport took place from the east, with the aircraft heading at 254.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,296 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 25, which had a length of 2,883 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 136 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 360 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 135 knots. The touchdown rate was very hard at -516 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 250°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 12 knots. The total landing distance was 1,236 meters, covering 43% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.6 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 520 nautical miles, taking 65 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used -85 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 25 at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport, achieving a score of 90.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 254.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,296 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 2,883 meters.
The threshold height at 55 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation in the aircraft's descent. Similarly, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 136 knots, suggesting a slight increase in the aircraft's speed during the final approach. However, the touchdown distance of 360 meters was considered good, indicating a well-executed landing.
The touchdown speed of 135 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -516 feet per minute (fpm). A hard touchdown rate can be a concern as it may put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and other components. On the other hand, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-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 11°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 12 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's slightly fast touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,236 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.6 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation in the aircraft's direction after touchdown. This may be a concern as it could affect the aircraft's ability to maintain a straight course during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some minor deviations in the aircraft's performance, including a slightly fast touchdown speed and a hard touchdown rate. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was not perfectly aligned with the centerline, which may require further attention to ensure safe and efficient operation.
