Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,344 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 366 m touchdown sits inside 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 18 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, FBW AIR TRANSAT C-GCKU, then departed from runway 04R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,665 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 60°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, climbing from an altitude of 1,019 feet above sea level to 35,643 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,624 feet in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 129 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles southeast of Nowe Warpno, Poland, and lasted for 68 minutes, covering a distance of 1,114 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 26 miles southwest of Trypiti, Greece, descending from 36,331 feet above sea level to 9,964 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,367 feet in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 46 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 8 miles north of LG03 Maleme, Crete, Greece, and lasting for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 4 miles northeast of Kalyves, Crete, Greece, descending from 9,937 feet above sea level to 4,019 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,918 feet in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 9 miles northeast of Mouzouras, Crete, Greece, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 13 miles northwest of Stavros, Crete, Greece, descending from 4,015 feet above sea level to 3,409 feet above sea level, a decrease of 606 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 12 miles north of LG03 Maleme, Crete, Greece, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 7 miles north of LG03 Maleme, Crete, Greece, descending from 3,405 feet above sea level to 2,737 feet above sea level, a decrease of 667 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 5 miles north of Agia Marina, Crete, Greece, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 11 at LGSA Chania International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 111.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,337 feet above ground level.
However, a go-around was initiated at 160 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 11 at LGSA Chania International Airport, with a runway length of 3,344 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 20 knots at a direction of 120°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 20 knots
The aircraft, FBW AIR TRANSAT C-GCKU, successfully landed at LGSA Chania International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its landing procedure. The final approach to runway 11 was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 111.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,337 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 123 kt, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 133 kt. The touchdown distance of 369 meters was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -192 fpm was also satisfactory, suggesting that the aircraft's rate of descent was well-managed.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a headwind of 20 kt. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 kt, which further contributed to the smoothness of the landing. The total landing distance of 803 meters was only 24% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to land and stop within a relatively short distance.
While the landing was largely successful, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being 11.1 meters off-centerline. However, this deviation was relatively minor and did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall safety or effectiveness of the landing. Overall, the landing of FBW AIR TRANSAT C-GCKU at LGSA Chania International Airport was a credit to the pilot's skill and experience, and demonstrated a high level of proficiency in landing procedures.
